Bluest Eyes - _TNY_5627
The fourteen-spotted ladybird (Propylea quatuordecimpunctata) has this really neat chequered pattern (with some variation) which is the reason the Swedish and German names (schackbrädespiga and Schachbrett-Marienkäfer respectively) reference a chessboard.
As this 3.9:1 magnification shot from Härnösand, Sweden clearly shows, their eyes also have a beautiful blue tint.
