Hi everyone,
I found quite a few of these ladybirds on heathland in Dorset a couple of days ago. I may well be wrong but the markings didn't seem quite right for the Seven-spot Ladybird so I was wondering whether they may be Scarce Seven-spot Ladybirds - Coccinella magnifica. There were plenty of Wood Ants nearby, which from reading around on the internet, Coccinella magnifica seems to be associated with.
I do have a few other shots if they'd be helpful,
Thanks for your help,
Guy
