Artist's Comments
Seven-spotted Ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata)
Coccinella septempunctata, the Seven-spot Ladybird (or, in North America, Seven-spotted Ladybug), is the most common ladybird in Europe. It belongs to the order Coleoptera, Family Coccinellidae. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names (from the Latin septem = "seven" and punctata = "spots"). C. septempunctata has a broad ecological range, living almost anywhere where there are aphids for it to eat. Both the adults and the larvae are voracious predators of aphids, and because of this, C. septempunctata has been repeatedly introduced to North America as a biological control agent to reduce aphid numbers, and is now established in North America and has been subsequently designated the official State insect of six different states (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee).

 Excellent
 Great Closeup, I think he has some company!
 Yes he has aphids for dinner!
 -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. (Aesop) -- In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded (Terry Pratchett). Yum!
 Excellent macro!
-- I want to die in my sleep like my Grandfather...not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.  The seven pointed little pig (in Latin). I watched these guys in my garden and I really appreciate them. It's interesting to watch the larva-they're not ugly but look interesting. They're grey with orange spots with a double row of tiny barbs. They like hanging out on the beet plants-I guess these flies are laying their eggs on the leaves and these maggots start eating the leaf from the inside. I think the adults and their larvae like to eat the maggots. When I see a maggot I tear of the part of the leaf that is eaten. Any way the lady bug larvae are going pupae right now on the leaves and is interesting to watch

 reports, 1d 23h agoThis newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board.
