FAMILY COCCINELLIDAE
This page contains information and pictures about Three-banded Ladybird with
black dots that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia

- Body length 8mm
- This ladybird also known as Maculate Ladybird. This ladybird beetle is the largest ladybird we
have ever seen.
-

-
- They are shiny orange
in colour with eleven black spots forming three bands on their wing-covers. We saw this ladybird
only two times. The first time we found them
hunting the aphids among the Milkweed plants in Macgregor bushland.
-

-
- The second time we saw it near the Bulimba Creek in Wishart, hunting on
tall grasses. From the pictures we took, the black dots pattern are a little
bit different. The patterns vary a bit between individals.
-

-
- We did not found any of the larva yet.
