two-spot lady beetle

One of the native lady beetles present in our country is the two‑spot lady beetle. It is so called because of the two black spots on the elytra. Another well-known species is the seven-spot lady beetle. The story according to which lady beetles acquire one spot per life year isn’t true. They’re born without spots but the final number appears a few hours after their emergence from the nymphal stage.
