Seven-spot ladybird — size comparison — facts and sources

The seven-spot ladybird lives in meadows, gardens and wherever aphids are available. Both adult beetles and mobile larvae hunt them, although larvae look distinctly different from their parents.

Development includes egg, larva, pupa and adult. Adults seek winter shelter in litter, hollow stems and crevices, sometimes gathering together. During the active season they move between plants, following available food.
