Five spot ladybird

[Morphology] 3.5 - 5 mm. This ladybird resembles Adalia bipunctata, especially when the posterolateral spots are small or absent, but C.quinquepunctata has a scutellar spot.
The eleven-spot Coccinella undecimpunctata seems slimmer
[Ecology] Low vegetation
[Distribution] Not too common but maybe somewhat overlooked through it's resemblance with Adalia bipunctata^A)
