Coccinella septempunctata
Looks like the quintessential ladybug: it is small sized (around 1 cm), has orangish-red elytra and black spots (mostly seven). Has two wings.
Can be found wherever significant numbers of prey, particularly aphids, are present. This normally includes small herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees in open fields, grasslands, marshes, agricultural fields, suburban gardens and parks.
