Description
A seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) and an ant share the flower of an ox-eye / oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) in southern England in spring. Ladybirds (called ladybugs in North America) are members of the Coccinellidae family of beetles, popular and well known for their bright colours and patterns. The seven-spot ladybird is the most common species in Europe. Ox-eye daisies are a large daisy that can grow to 60cm / 24" or more in height and are native to Europe and western temperate Asia. They have been introduced to other continents and are considered an invasive weed in some (notably parts of Australia).
