Ladybirds 1 subgallery! Photo Gallery by Carole Stevens at pbase.com

Ladybirds 1 subgallery!

A gallery of one of the prettiest and most popular insects in Europe.
Ladybirds are withing the order Coleoptera (beetles).
But they have their own order;
Coccinellidae which actually means "Clad in scarlet".

Like all beetles they have biting mouth-rts and hard wing cases,(elytra).
In the UK there are over 46 species of ladybird and 5000 worldwide!
In this gallery I have tried to find as many species as possible as well as capture a nice photograph.

I will be continually updating this gallery so feel free to come back and visit.

I have used simply my Canon 100mm macro and/or all three of my extension rings!

I hope to be able to ID each ladybird as son as I can.
