Seven-Spotted Lady Beetle

¤ On Black ¤

 

My girlfriend and I just returned from a three-day camping adventure to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on Lake Michigan. Unfortunately the light wasn't the best, so there aren't a lot of pictures, but the weather could not have been better. Cheers!

 

Coccinella septempunctata, sevenspotted lady beetle, sometimes called ‘C-7', is a medium-sized, orange beetle with seven black spots. It is a European species that was introduced into the US to aid in managing some aphid pests.
