All about the cream streaked ladybird, Harmonia quadripunctata, and some information on its infamous relative.
This week check out the UK Wildlife Podcast (@UKWildlifePod on twitter) and the RSPB big garden birdwatch!
Note: when I am talking about the ten spot i made a mistake and mention spot's on the ladybird's head rather than its pronotum.
