Coccinella septempunctata
The most common ladybird species in Europe. Each wing case has three black spots and another spot is located across both elytra behind the pronotum making a total of seven. They are voracious predators of aphids. Adults overwinter under rocks, in leaf litter and beneath tree bark.
