It ranges south into parts of north Africa and eastwards through northern Asia excluding China.[1] It was introduced into North America some time last century with the first records from Pennsylvania in 1972.[2] In the Britain it is more common in the south.[3]

To Do: Correct date format errors in refs. 11 Jan 2014 is OK MOS:DATEFORMAT#Dates_and_years

German page: Vierundzwanzigpunkt

24-pointed Ladybird Beetle (EOL Common Name)

Book template Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

Wingless alt wording: Many 24-spot ladybirds are wingless and unable to fly, there being no hind wings for flying although the modified forewings that form the wing cases (elytra) are still present. A recent study predicts that flightlessness is increasing, with some populations including no winged individuals.[4]
