| | | Adalia ladybird variants
Until the 'harlequin' came along, our two most variable species were the ten- and two-spot ladybirds ( Adalia decempunctata & A. bipunctata as seen in some of the recent postings. There are many other variants which are very rare such as the purpura form which creates purple, spotless 2-spots. I found a rare one today -  - the "rabbit's ear" (actually, this looks more like Scooby Doo than a rabbit - but see Untitled Document for a more rabbit-like one!  |

Thanks; and there are so many more of these variants about! I don't think they're of any great significance unless you're a geneticist but you never know .... Quote:
