Species masterpost

A list of the species that have been featured on this blog so far: https://identifying-ladybugs-in-posts.tumblr.com/private/781121671049478144/tumblr_nnvoePwGz2LHT3EMH?source=share

Tag guide

IDs are tagged by genus as well as abbreviated genus + species. I do it this way so you can look at, say, all the fungus-eating lady beetles at once, or see the 22-spotted and my beloved 20-spotted ladybugs separately.

IDs are tagged with OP's username. Non-reblogs are tagged #identifying-ladybugs-in-posts

#art = drawn, sculpted, painted, knitted, or otherwise not a direct photograph of an actual ladybug

#stylized = exaggerated, simplified, or abstracted to the point of not attempting to be an accurate illustration of a specific ladybug. Think cartoonish ladybugs, or ladybug-themed items. Sometimes these still look like ladybugs but have certain features changed, sometimes they bear no resemblance to any actual species. I like to ID these with the closest species that could have "inspired" it and what similarities it shares. Just for the fun and the challenge!

#larva and #pupa are tagged, as well as #male and #female if specified

#unidentified = doesn't have a species ID

#undetermined = vague, uncertain, or unconfirmed IDs

#not my ID = ladybug was IDed earlier in the thread by someone else, I'm just reposting the same info

#not a ladybug = IDs of other bugs, often ladybug mimics or misidentified as ladybugs

#how to ID = info on how to tell species apart

#not an ID = other posts

Triggers and phobias: I tag #Araneae for spiders and #Arachnida for other arachnids. If you need anything else tagged, please let me know and I'll do my best!

And just for fun...
