Angle-spot Ladybird Scymnus frontalis

Also known as Angle-spotted Scymnus (e.g. in the Ladybirds field guide by Helen Roy and Peter Brown) or Angle-spotted Ladybird.


This was found by suction in an ex-arable meadow. It was 2.8mm long and I think the absence of any brown on the sides of the pronotum make it a female.
