}}Chilocorus bipustulatus, the heather ladybird,[1] is a beetle species belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Chilocorinae.[1] These beetles are found in most of the Palearctic ecozone,[2] (Europe, North Africa, Asia north of the Himalayan foothills, and northern and central Arabian Peninsula) [3], and has been introduced to tropical Africa, Hawaii, and North America.[4]The elytra of this small beetle are a shiny brown with two reddish-orange spots on each elytron (hence the Latin word {{lang|la|bipustulatus}}, meaning two-blistered). Sometime three spots run in an horizontal line and join into two larger stains. The mature larva is about {{convert|5|mm}} long. Wintering occurs as an adult. The adults grow up to {{convert|3|-|5|mm}} long and can be encountered from May through October. In Europe it occurs in fruit gardens, pine forests, and stone quarries.[5] In Poland it was found on grasses, low vegetation and bushes, on heath lands, under flakes of bark on pines and fruit trees, occasionally in leaf litter and in moss[6] Heather ladybirds feed on aphids and scale insects (mainly belonging to the family Coccidae and Diaspididae) and is often introduced as a biological control in cases of infestation.[7][8] In France it is considered to be useful in Citrus orchards.
