Orange Ladybird

Halyzia sedecimguttata

Taken on 16th July 2008, Lincoln UK. Crawling on the window outside, they mainly feed on mildew, especially on Sycamore but also take honeydew and small aphids in spring before mildew has grown.

Unmistakable with 16 creamy white spots (8 on each elytra, rarely 6 or 7), and black eyes. Length is 5-7mm.

This Orange ladybird appeared in our overnight moth trap this morning. This is the first time I have seen this one here
