Page on 24-spot Ladybird[edit]

Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata

Great to have a page live!!!

Description[edit]

The mandibles (jaws) of the 24-spot each have six teeth rather to help them graze leaves rather than the one or two typical of aphid eaters.NOTE

Adult beetles[edit]

Juvenile stages[edit]

Distribution and Habitat[edit]

This ladybird is an Old World species occurring across Europe. It ranges south into parts of north Africa and eastwards through northern Asia excluding China.^[1] It was introduced into North America some time last century with the first records from Pennsylvania in 1972.^[2] In the Britain it is more common in the south.^[3]

Habitat - still to do. Don't forget to correct section title on page...

Behaviour[edit]

Temporary notes[edit]

To Do: Correct date format errors in refs. 11 Jan 2014 is OK MOS:DATEFORMAT#Dates_and_years

German page: Vierundzwanzigpunkt

24-pointed Ladybird Beetle (EOL Common Name)

Book template Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

Wingless alt wording: Many 24-spot ladybirds are wingless and unable to fly, there being no hind wings for flying although the modified forewings that form the wing cases (elytra) are still present. A recent study predicts that flightlessness is increasing, with some populations including no winged individuals.^[4]
