p:abstract
  • Coccinella septempunctata, the seven-spot ladybird (or, in North America, seven-spotted ladybug or "C-7"), is the most common ladybird in Europe. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names .C. septempunctata has a broad ecological range, living almost anywhere where there are aphids for it to eat. Both the adults and the larvae are voracious predators of aphids, and because of this, C. septempunctata has been repeatedly introduced to North America as a biological control agent to reduce aphid numbers, and is now established in North America, and has been subsequently designated the official State insect of six different states .In the United Kingdom, there are fears that the seven-spot ladybird is being out-competed for food by the harlequin ladybird . Conversely, in North America, this species has outcompeted many native species, including other Coccinella. (en)
  • Coccinella septempunctata, llamada vulgarmente mariquita de siete puntos es la especie de mariquita más común en Europa. Sus élitros son de color rojo, con tres puntos negros en cada uno, y uno más sobre el lugar donde ambos se juntan, lo que hace un total de siete puntos (de ahí su nombre vulgar, y también el científico, del latín septem, "siete", y punctata, "punteada". C. septempunctata vive prácticamente en cualquier lugar en el que haya pulgones, de los que se alimenta. Tanto los ejemplares adultos como las larvas son voraces depredadores de pulgones, razón por la cual C. septempunctata ha sido introducida en Norteamérica para combatir las plagas de esos parásitos de las plantas.
