Two-spot ladybird — size comparison — facts and sources

The two-spot ladybird occurs in gardens, scrub and trees. It searches for aphids and other small prey. Females lay eggs where larvae will have access to food.

Larvae are also predatory, although their appearance differs markedly from adults. Adults seek shelter for the colder part of the year. Colour forms vary, so visible spot count alone does not always identify the species.
