Have any of your ever seen some of the rarer species? Let me know in the comments!

I love painting ladybirds! I'm originally from northern Italy and I used to see pretty much all of the red/orange varieties in the picture when I was little. My absolute favourite has always been the 22 spot yellow ladybird, though, whilst not super rare we could only spot one for every 10ish of the red/orange ones and it has always felt like such a treat! :)
