Cream-spot ladybird
The cream-spot ladybird, ''Calvia quatuordecimguttata'', is a species of ladybird in the family Coccinellidae. Its distribution is holarctic, it being found in northern Europe, northern Asia and North America. This ladybird is generally in length and is maroon-brown with fourteen cream-coloured spots. It usually lives in hedgerows and deciduous trees.
==Taxonomy==
This ladybird was first described by Linnaeus in 1758 as ''Coccinella 14-guttata''. As ladybirds were further studied, it was transferred to the genus ''Calvia'' which was erected in 1873 by the French entomologist Étienne Mulsant. The specific name comes from ''quatuordecim'', the Latin for "fourteen" and ''guttata'', the Latin for "spotted".〔
This ladybird is also sometimes known as the cream-spotted ladybird, the polkadot ladybird or the eighteen spot ladybird and may be confused with another beetle also known as the eighteen-spot ladybird (''Myrrha octodecimguttata''). The latter is usually found on pine trees and is smaller and a paler brown colour and has a characteristic M-shaped white mark on its pronotum.
