Chilocorus bipustulatus, the heather ladybird,[1] is a beetle species belonging to the family Coccinellidae, subfamily Chilocorinae.

[4] The elytra of this small beetle are a shiny brown with two reddish-orange spots on each elytron (hence the Latin word bipustulatus, meaning two-blistered).

Sometime three spots run in an horizontal line and join into two larger stains.

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.
