Dasymetopa septempunctata is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Dasymetopa of the family Ulidiidae. [1] [2] [3]
Coccinella septempunctata, the common ladybug, the seven-spot ladybird, is a carnivorous beetle native to the Old World and is the most common ladybird in Europe. The beetle is also found in North America, Central and Eastern Asia and regions with a temperate climate. Its elytra are of a red colour, but each punctuated with three black spots, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names.
Uroctea is a genus of spiders that is found in Eurasia and Africa. It is sometimes put into its own family, Urocteidae. Their tent-like web is very similar to the ones Oecobius builds; but Uroctea species do not have a cribellum.
Coccinella is the most familiar genus of ladybird. The elytra of most species are of a red or orange colour, punctuated with black spots or bands. The genus occurs throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but has only 11 species native to North America, with far more in Eurasia.
The olive flounder, bastard halibut or Korean halibut, is a temperate marine species of large-tooth flounder native to the North-western Pacific Ocean.

Coccinellidae is a widespread family of small beetles. They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in the United Kingdom; "lady" refers to mother Mary. Entomologists use the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles to avoid confusion with true bugs. The more than 6,000 described species have a global distribution and are found in a variety of habitats. They are oval beetles with a domed back and flat underside. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic (warning) colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they taste bad.

Stenurella is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae.
Tridrepana septempunctata is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Warren in 1896. It is found in Assam in India and on Sumatra in Indonesia.
Athrips septempunctata is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in China (Gansu).
Precoccinelline is an alkaloid produced by the Coccinella septempunctata, also known as the seven-spot ladybird. The alkaloid is released from the joints in C. septempunctata legs when it is provoked to deter predators such as ants or birds. It binds to both insect and mammalian nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, giving it use as an insecticide or as a therapy to treat drug dependence.
