Two-Spotted Lady Beetle


The two-spotted lady beetle is very common in western Europe. It is used as a biological control agent against aphids in greenhouses.
The most familiar form of the two-spot ladybird beetle is the red one with the two black or brown spots. However, there also exists a black form with four or six red parts on it.

In addition, there are intermediate forms, but they occur only rarely in nature.
