Lots of Harmonia quadripunctata (Cream-streaked Ladybird) in northern France last month! The one on the right I thought had an odd spot to start with, but now think it's been caused by damage! #FranceLadybirds #Coccinellidae #Coccinelles

There were lots of Horseshoe Ladybirds (Clitostethus arcuatus) in northern France last week! I found them pretty much every day. Always a delight to find them! #FranceLadybirds #Coccinellidae #Coccinelles

Plenty of Nephus quadrimaculatus (Ivy Ladybird) in northern France in early May! Scymnus interruptus (Red-flanked Ladybird) was often found with them from ivy. #FranceLadybirds #MicroLadybird #Coccinelles

This Coccidula rufa (Red Marsh Ladybird) was not about to give up his meal (Homoptera nymph I think), even after I'd just tapped him out of a grass tussock! #FranceLadybirds #MicroLadybird #Coccinelles

Some of the 14-spot Ladybirds (Propylea 14-punctata) are quite heavily marked in France, which is rather attractive! Some are very lightly marked too! #FranceLadybirds #Coccinellidae #Coccinelles

It was exciting to find a new species for me in northern France last month, Scymnus rubromaculatus (Dusky Ladybird)! Several females (bi-coloured femurs), and after much searching, I eventually also found a male! #MicroLadybird #FranceLadybirds #Coccinelles

Rhyzobius lophanthae (Bristly Ladybird) from northern France a few weeks ago! I was surprised at how few I found, as it was a species I expected to find quite readily! I certainly find more in Shropshire! #FranceLadybirds #MicroLadybird #Coccinelles

The other most abundant micro I found in northern France a couple of weeks ago, was Rhyzobius chrysomeloides (Arboreal Ladybird). I had them out of pretty much anything!! #FranceLadybirds #MicroLadybird #Coccinellidae #Coccinelles

This Scymnus suturalis (Conifer Ladybird) tickled me by the way he appeared to look at the Harmonia quadripunctata (Cream-streaked Ladybird) in such a quizzical way! If only they could talk! Seen in northern France in early May #FranceLadybirds #MicroLadybird #Coccinelles
