Eye-Spotted Ladybug - Anatis mali

Since they come in all sorts of patterns and sizes, when identifying Ladybugs it’s important you carefully observe every detail as best you can. Important details to check are the spot number, spot position and the thorax pattern. The Asian Ladybug for example have a multitude of patterns on their shell (it’s quite impressive the sheer variety) but most of them can be verifying by the black “W” shaped marking on the thorax. How convenient! As you can guess by the title of this post, this insect is not an Asian Ladybug. It’s large size and rimmed spots suggest that, but if you look at the thorax too you can be 100% sure. There’s a black “W” pattern there too, but it doesn’t match the Asian Ladybug’s pattern; it’s much bolder, especially the inner white curves. Combine everything together, we have a new specie for this blog: The Eye-Spotted Ladybug or the American Eyespot Ladybug (so as not to confuse it with a European relative). Those spots with rings around them give this little jellybean its name. For those of us living in Toronto and those in the Eastern United States near Toronto, be very attentive when identifying your Anatis genus Ladybugs. These giants (relatively speaking) are noted to have variable colors, some darkened to match even their spot color in some cases! This could be identification and cataloguing very difficult.

The darker forms of Eye-Spot can be mistaken for the 15-Spotted Ladybug (A. labiculata) at a first glance as the rings may be obscured by the dark shell. In the grand scheme of things it may not be so critical, but for the purposes of establishing ranges and species interaction mistaking one insect for another might be confusing. Check the spots and thorax as best you can. Pick them up and get a close up look. This one seemed rather thrilled to crawl on my hand as it started to nibble me, possibly for some salt or loose skin. Though it can be tough to see, this Ladybug has large mandibles to match its large size, so the feeling is definitely of a nibble and less a tickle. Fear not, they cannot puncture skin, preferring to feed on soft-bodied insects such as Aphids. These Ladybugs seem to specialize of treetop Aphids, rarely venturing to lower levels in search of food (so I wonder what this one was doing here?) making them valuable in contributing to good tree health. Their large size means they have access to food sources other Ladybugs would dare not try to catch. Some have even been seen eating arboreal Caterpillars and Sawfly larvae as well (especially the Ladybug larvae). When you’re huge and built like a 6-legged spiked alligator or a teardrop/helmet-shaped armored tank, soft-bodied insects are no challenge at all.

Anatis labiculata (Coleoptera : Coccinellidae) the 15 spotted lady beetle. This genus is often called the "giant lady beetles" and for good reason! This is by far the largest I have ever seen (at Trexler Nature Preserve)
