vc40ladybirds 🐞 When springtime is coming...

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Found two Heather Ladybirds 'at it' today! Admittedly it was 13 degrees C and sunny!

#Maythe4thBeWithYou

vc40ladybirds 🐞 No worries. Found the first 22-spot ladybird of this year here in France. Unfortunately we had a lot of frosty days lately and it didn't survive.

Was pleased to find 3 beautiful Anatis ocellata (Eyed Ladybird) this afternoon! One on Cherry, one on Larch, and one on Pine! #VC40Ladybirds

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Turkey roll I think. Got a few looks today when seen hitting a tree with a stick whilst holding a big turkey roasting tray. People stayed well away !
Was looking for Horseshoe LB again but happy to find Ivy LB and as a bonus a Curculio glandium fell out of the Ivy as well.

Amazing! I had no idea that a 🐞 could be so small. I think it’s a Red-flanked Ladybird (Scymnus interruptus) on my garden table.

Number 🔟 for my #Ladybird YearList & incredibly difficult to photograph!

I found lots of these running around the pots in the garden. They look like a larvae, perhaps one of the inconspicuous ladybirds. Can anyone help? 🐞 Thanks!

@NEE_Naturalist vc40ladybirds 🐞 Here's a 14-spot from ⁨Ranscombe Farm Reserve⁩, ⁨Rochester⁩, ⁨on 16th May

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Added the wrong one. Forgive the mobile blur 😂😂

A good day's monad bashing in NW Shrops y'day, with highlights incl. 30+ each of Aphidecta obliterata (Larch LB) + Exochomus 4-pustulatus (Pine LB) + Propylea 14-punctata (14-spot LB) from Hawthorn under a huge Douglas Fir [pic shows v small selection]. One of 2... #VC40Ladybirds

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Helen Roy This landed on me today in a churchyard in Penn, Wolverhampton - same almost spotless species or a spotless harlequin?

vc40ladybirds 🐞 And am I right in thinking there's a 14 Spot in the top left of the group in the photo below?

vc40ladybirds 🐞 would you be kind enough to look at these pics please. Seen in a South Cambs allotment. Could it be a Bryony Ladybird?

vc40ladybirds 🐞 👏👏👏👏

Anatis ocellata (Eyed LB), on Garlic Mustard, under that Douglas fir! A gorgeous Myrrha 18-guttata (18-spot LB) on Pine, & the star of the day, Scymnus interruptus (Red-flanked LB) being the most NW record in the county to date! Now to fill the gaps! #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Wasps emerge from the pupae of N. quadrimaculatus!? Very interesting!
S. paganus is eaten up inside the body by Nothoserphus scymni during the larval stage.

vc40ladybirds 🐞 Thank you. Dactylis certainly qualifies as tussocky in any case! Found this reference also to ladybirds/Dactylis. I learn something new every day :) Thank you! commonbynature.com/24-spot-ladybi…
