Latin name: Psyllobora 22-punctata
Size: Approximately 3 to 5mms long
Distribution: Found throughout the U.K.
Months seen: April to August
Food: Feeds mainly on mildew
Habitat: Fields, meadows and gardens.
Special features: Each wing case features 11 evenly spaced black spots.
The pronotum, or section between the head and the abdomen, also features 5 black
spots, so it probably should have been called the 27 spot ladybird.
Usually found close to the ground among long grasses and other low growing
vegetation.
