Sedlescombe area

25th August 2006, Friday

In the Sedlescombe area, I have seen a number of ladybird species (Coccinellidae family), over the last few months. There are a lot of different types and variations, that most people will probably be unaware of. Even the most common ladybirds can easily be miss identified with rarer species. The ones I have seen so far are, 2-Spot Ladybird, 7-Spot Ladybird, 14-Spot Ladybird, 16-spot Ladybird, Eyed ladybird, Cream-spot ladybird, Orange Ladybird (pictured). It is well worth doing an internet search for them, there are many more to be seen.
