Ladybird on fungus. Seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septem-punctata) climbing up the stalk of a fungal fruiting body. This is a wood-rotting fungus growing on a dead tree stump. All UK species of ladybird overwinter as adults,finding a sheltered site in which to reduce their activity until the winter has passed. Overwintering ladybirds may be found as individuals,or in groups. Their survival depends upon the quantity of fat reserves accumulated,and the severity of the winter. Photographed in Norfolk,UK | |
