Macro close up of a ladybird's face with details of complex eyes and mouth

@PixelNenzz thanks for commenting and sharing that you even painted a specimen of the same #species. Indeed this #ladybeetle is very photogenic due to its striking #colors.

For the 5th prompt of #PrinterSolstice2526 odd: This is my 8” x 8” lino block print on delicate Japanese washi paper of a seven-spotted lady beetle, or ladybird or lady bug (Coccinella septempunctata) on a pink apple blossom. Like most blossoms it has an odd number of leaves (5) & like some lady beetles, this one obviously has an odd number of spots.

As the 12yo pointed out, not a scientist this week. https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/4444561272

My 8” x 8” linocut print shows a seven-spotted lady beetle in red and black with white on a pale pink apple blossom with yellow centre and darker pink outlines

Trying to name this ladybug since it showed up again 😊
Spots → Spotty → Spochy → Pochy → Pochi… which is kind of like a doggy name in Japan 🤔

Or maybe Dusty, since the close-up photos reveal it’s actually pretty dusty 🤔

A close-up photo shows a red ladybug with several black spots. Due to the lighting, it appears orange and is lightly coated by dust.

#MondayMotivation

Pretty sure this is the same ladybug that I found about a week ago. Looks like drinking water 🤔
I think I should name it 🤔

Today, I’ve noticed a ladybug on the corner of the mirror in the gym locker room, I took her home and placed her on the lemon tree that’s wintering in the kitchen. It’s been a couple of hours, she hasn’t moved from the spot. I’m hoping that she’d wake up in the spring and start eating the scale bugs.😘🐞✨

Time for a native Australian ladybird beetle! This is the large-spotted ladybird (Harmonia conformis), a beautiful pest-devouring machine and garden protector!

A note on terminology: ladybird [beetle], ladybug [beetle], and lady beetle are all synonyms – the name applies to any beetle in family Coccinellidae.

The #22spot #ladybeetle #Psyllobora #vigintiduopunctata (#Cucujiformia) is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The adults and larvae #feed #mycetophagously on #fungi, specifically on powdery #mildews. When threatened, the beetle shows #thanatosis (plays dead) and secretes a defensive secretion. M. Dillen et al. (2017) studied #multitrophic #interactions between ladybird, mildew, and #oak trees.

Anyone else noticing an absolute boom in Adonis ladybird (Hippodamia variegata) numbers this summer compared to previous years? I normally see perhaps 2 per year but almost 100% of sites I have visited this year have had at least 1-2, so running total is closer to 30!

(This is southeast UK.)

And one more unexpected Nature encounter in #Bochum after the birds - a #beetle (sitting on a restaurant menu of all places) which I'm pretty certain is a multicoloured Asian #LadyBeetle (Harmonia axyridis) - albeit a not very common color form which I've only found exactly like this in https://www.naturfotos-naeher-hingeschaut.de/insekten-gliederfuesser/kaefer/marienkaefer/asiatischer-marienkaefer/. CORRECTION: this is a spotted willow leaf beetle (Chrysomela vigintipunctata) I now think after discussing this case with two beetle experts!

🧵 If you listened to my micro-macro-amplifyer you could hear a "roaaarrr!" against #aphids on my rose. In German, #ladybird larvae are called Blattlauslöwen, #aphid lions.

Because of the warm winter and the terrible dryness, we have myriads of aphids. And because of farmers using more pesticides, we have less #insects and insect eating #birds. So more aphids*. Everything is #interconnected. Read ALT!

Larva of Harmonia axyridis, the Asian ladybeetle. It is larger than larvae of native ladybeetles, nearly black, and distinguishable by the orange backsides and 4 orange points on the back. Harmonia axyridis is an invasive species in France since 2001, spread by pest control breeders in Belgium. The companies had to close, the species was initially combated. It initially pushed back the native species, but I can now see that it is returning, at least in my region. The Asian ladybird is also more resilient to climate change.

Det är kul att fotografera lite mindre djur också. #photography #naturephotography #macrophotography #macro #macroworld #naturemacro #ladybug #ladybugsofpixelfed #ladybugs #nyckelpiga #insectphotography #insectthursday #ladybeetle #beetle #pixelfedsweden
