Check Mate - _TNY_1758

The Swedish name for the 14-spotted ladybird (Propylea quatuordecimpunctata) is "schackbrädspiga", meaning "chess board ladybird". And Germans say "Schachbrett-Marienkäfer" which means the same thing.

 

 

This particular one was walking across my son's arm on a visit to Tyresta National Park in 2021.
