Appearance
Normally it carries two spots on each elytron - a larger central one and a smaller apical spot, but additional (small) spots are frequent. Also quite frequently the spots are "eye spots", where the black spots have a thin lighter orange lining around them.The mature larvae can be easily distinguished from the larvae of the other species in the genus (in NW Europe) due to the extra orange spots on the sixth and seventh abdominal segments.
