Current Goal


This gentle but very hungry ladybug wants to travel from cache to cache. Please choose a cache where she will have the chance to find and eat some succulent tasty hemiptera.

I you have the opportunity, please add a picture of some wild ladybird to your log. We would like to check if it is true that the number of black spots on the ladybirds varies.

About This Item

Coccinella magnifica

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds or ladybugs. Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not true bugs (nor birds). Lesser-used names include God's cow, ladyclock, lady cow, lady fly, and Xena Fly.
 
Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids. Conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles.
 
Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone.
