Twospotted Lady Beetle (Mating Pair)

Found in a wide range of habitats including gardens, woodlands, and agricultural fields across Europe and North America.

Generalist predator feeding primarily on aphids; also eats mites and other small soft-bodied insects.

Diurnal insects that are active during the day. They go through a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, adult) and often hibernate in groups during winter inside buildings or under bark.

Highly beneficial to ecosystems and agriculture as natural pest control for aphids. They are harmless to humans, though they may occasionally bite if handled roughly or seek shelter in homes during cold weather.
