Here's the first render from a new set I'm working on... "Nature's Wonders Ladybugs". It will contain 10 of the most popular/interesting ladybird/ladybug species. The 7-spotted Ladybird is found in Europe, North Africa, Australia, Cyprus, European Russia, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, the Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan, Middle Asia, Western Asia, Middle East, Afghanistan, Mongolia, China, North and South Korea, Pakistan, Nepal, North India, Japan, Sri Lanka, southeast Asia, and tropical Africa. It also has been introduced multiple times to North America to aid in aphid control. The most common North American species is the Convergent Lady Beetle (also included in the set). Their distinctive spots and conspicuous colors warn of their toxicity, making them unappealing to predators. This species can secrete a fluid from joints in their legs which gives them a foul taste. A threatened ladybird may both play dead and secrete that unappetizing substance to protect itself. Depending on sex and diet, as well as the spot size and coloration can provide some indication of how toxic the individual insect is to potential predators.
