One, Two, Three, Four and more Twice Stabbed
Not too long ago I thought that the Twice Stabbed Lady Beetle was a single Coleoptera subspecies. However, doing some deeper research I found there are over 20 different Coleoptera who share the title of ‘Twice Stabbed Lady Beetle’! There is one that has it as its official ‘common’ name, that being the Stigma, but the Nigrium, Nigrita, Cacti and plenty more also consider themselves to be connected to the Twice Stabbed legend. I do not know if I'll have time to get to all the Coleoptera subspecies that have that title, but I’ll do my best with the time I have around their home of Guilerme! More information can be found in the Animalia Almanac.
