L'Atlas des Coccinelles de la Région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes

See on Scoop.it - Insect Archive

L’association Arthropologia coordonne un atlas régional des coccinelles et vous propose de prendre part à cette dynamique.

Ce projet est l’occasion de rassembler et de valoriser les dynamiques locales existantes en favorisant le partage et l’émulation sur le territoire

  Pour vous guider durant les trois ans de ce projet, nous vous proposons un guide méthodologique (lien à venir)

Pas UNE mais DES Coccinelles !

La plus célèbre d’entre elles, la Coccinelle à 7 points, concentre souvent toute l’attention, aux côtés d’ailleurs d’une espèce exotique introduite, la Coccinelle asiatique. Il existe pourtant 80 autres espèces de coccinelles actuellement connues en Région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.

  En réalité, les coccinelles présentent de grandes diversités morphologiques : presque la moitié des espèces mesurent moins de 2 mm, ne possèdent souvent pas de points ou ne sont même pas rouges !

  On compte sur vous pour aller débusquer ces espèces parfois oubliées !

Comment les reconnaitre ?

Les coccinelles sont des insectes qui appartiennent à l’ordre des coléoptères, caractérisés notamment par leur paire d’ailes antérieures rigides, les élytres, qui recouvrent et protègent la paire d’ailes membraneuses, souples et fines, qui leur permet de voler. Les coccinelles sont reconnaissables grâce aux critères suivants :

Leurs antennes terminées « en massues »

Le dernier article des palpes maxillaires qui est en forme de hache

Les tarses composés de 4 articles

Des variations impressionnantes !

L’apparence des coccinelles peut être trompeuse. Chez une même espèce, les individus peuvent arborer des motifs très variés ! Voici par exemple la Coccinelle à 10 points (Adalia decempunctata). Elle peut adopter des formes bien différentes, ce qui ne facilite pas toujours la détermination. Heureusement ce n’est pas le cas de toutes les espèces !

  Bernadette Cassel's insight:

  "Si votre structure est intéressée pour participer au projet, merci de nous contacter pour que l’on œuvre ensemble à une meilleure connaissance des coccinelles sur le territoire !"

Ten-spot Ladybird, Adalia decempunctata Canon 400D EF 100 2.8 f/3.5 1/400 iso: 200 Prague, Czech Republic April 4, 2008 #Ladybirds #ladybugs

So in canon, Alya will be using the Ladybug Miraculous temporarily but obviously it won't be her getting this in R.O.A. As most of you know, Alya never got the fox miraculous and therefore never got trusted with the identity of the holder of the Ladybug Miraculous. No, instead Juleka got the fox and will be the first one to find out Anatis is in fact Luka. Now Hack-San is interesting because the LB isn't Marinette so naturally I plan to adapt it. I won't be just having Luka go to London and just hand over his miraculous but something will happen that causes juleka to take up the role. It will be something that can't be helped and out of their control. And don't worry Lady Noir won't be horrible to our temp bug. She'll be helping the girl out.

Now for her design. I liked aspects of her canon look as Purple Tigeress so I incorporated things into this design. Mostly her hairstyle and the belt. I'm really happy with how this turned out. The two spots on the black are a reference as to her namesake which is Adalia aka the two spotted Ladybird. There is also a second species of Ladybug that is has Adalia in the name. You have Adalia Bipunctata (the two spotted Ladybird) and then there's Adelia Decempunctata (the ten spotted Ladybird) so Juleka's design is loosely based off these two. I also like Adalia as her name because it is similar to Anatis. Same amount of letters, both begin with A and both are an uncommon species of Ladybug.

Anyway, I hope you like my design 😊

Personal (Short) Project, Ladybirds (pt1) Secondary Research of Colours and Species

Upon establishing the project I began researching into the various types of species of Ladybird, to first begin understanding them (their role in nature, their food their habitats) and where I could find links to a more Gothic nature for design purposes, secondly to comprehend the various types of Ladybird and thirdly to record their colour and interpret them as need be in relation to the overarching project.

Here (above) and in the mood board link below you can see my visual research as an attempt to comprehend the variety of colours Ladybirds appear in. I found this first method of research useful for the way it lead many of the ladybirds names to be revealed upon further research and their relationship with one another.

Most ladybugs voraciously consume plant-eating insects, such as aphids, and in doing so they help to protect crops. Ladybugs lay hundreds of eggs in the colonies of aphids and other plant-eating pests. When they hatch, the ladybug larvae immediately begin to feed. Which to my mind whilst this is incredibly useful does bring a murderous image to the typical child friendly one we give.

One ladybird species which has been devastating to the population of the European natives has been the Harlequin. Harlequin feed on the larva of other ladybirds, butterfly eggs and other insects, potentially putting a number of British species at risk.

The types of species native to the UK include:

The two-spot ladybird ( Adalia bipunctata) has up to 16 black or red spots, which can be very variable – in splodges or in a grid pattern. It is the ladybird which most commonly overwinters in buildings

The pine ladybird ( Exochomus qadripustulatus) is round in shape with a pronounced rim around the margin of the wing cases. It is black with between two and four red spots; the spots at the outer front margin of the wing cases are comma-shaped. Inhabits needled conifers, sallows and willows, and overwinters in leaf litter, foliage and bark crevices of evergreen trees and shrubs 

The 14-spot ladybird ( Propylea quatuordecimpunctata) is yellow or black with between four and 14 black or yellow spots, which are almost rectangular. Overwinters in various locations, usually low down

The orange ladybird ( Halyzia sedecimguttata) has 12-16 white spots. It overwinters in leaf litter or sheltered positions on trees and eats mildews. Considered until 1987 an indicator of ancient woodland, it has become widespread since it became common on sycamores; it has recently moved on to ash trees. It is attracted to light and is often found in moth-traps

Ten-spot ladybirds ( Adalia decempunctata) are extremely variable in colour and pattern. They can be cream, yellow, orange, red, brown, purple or black, with up to 15 spots. They live in deciduous trees and hedgerows and overwinter in leaf litter and beech nuts 

The larch ladybird ( Aphidecta obliterata) is tan in colour and can have up to 10 spots. It lives in needled conifers and overwinters in bark crevices. Probably relies on camouflage for defence against birds but can also reflex bleed

The harlequin ladybird ( Harmonia axyridis) is an alien species, which is expected to spread rapidly as it outcompetes other species and is a major threat to them and some other insect groups. It has a yellow-orange, orange-red, red or black body with up to 21 orange-red or black spots, and white or cream spots, lines or solid marking on its pronotum (front plate)Photograph: Alamy

Harlequin ladybird ( Harmonia axyridis), succinea form (orange with black spots). Measures 5-8mm. Host plant: various, particularly lime and sycamore. Overwinters in houses and on rocky surfaces

The cream-spot ladybird. This species has a maroon-brown body with 14 cream spots; six of which form a line across the wing cases. Host plant: various deciduous trees and shrubs. Overwinters in plant litter, bark crevices and beech nuts

An eyed ladybird ( Anatis ocellata). At 7mm-8.5mm, this is Britain's largest ladybird and has a russet or burgundy body and up to 23 black spots, which sometimes have cream rings around them. Host plant: needled conifers, particularly pines. Will disperse from conifers in late summer when feeding up for winter. Overwinters in soil or leaf litter

A 7-spot Ladybird ( Coccinella septempunctata). Probably the ladybird most frequently noticed in Britain, it is red with up to nine black spots and measures 5mm-8mm. Habitat: varied, but often low herbage. Overwinters in low herbage and in conifer foliage

The seven-spotted ladybird ( Coccinella septempunctata). The pronotum is black with anterior-lateral white marks

A striped ladybird ( Myzia oblongoguttata). Chestnut with cream stripes and up to 15 spots, it is most commonly found in mature Scots pine woodland. Preferred prey are the large brown aphids of the genus

16-spot ladybirds ( Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata). These beige insects, with 13-18 black spots, measure only 3mm and are often overlooked. Found in grassland and meadows, they overwinter in low herbage, gorse, plant litter, on fence posts and stone walls, often in large aggregations. They feed on pollen, nectar and fungi

The water ladybird (Anisosticta 19-punctata) is usually from late summer, turning reddish in April-June. Distinctly elongate and flattened in shape, it has 15-21 black spots and inhabits reed-beds and wetlands, overwintering between leaves and in stems of reeds and grass tussocks

22-spot Ladybird ( Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata). This species measures 3mm-4mm and is yellow or black with 20-22 black spots. The pronotum has five discrete black spots. Host plant: various, particularly hogweed. Overwinters in low herbage; feeds on mildews

One factor I hadn’t considered but upon research for the logo will be the amount of spots of the ladybird meaning the size to spot ratio of the lady bird will need to be considered.
