Coccinella hieroglyphica is a type of beetle found in the Palearctic region, including Europe, European Russia, Siberia, and parts of Asia. They are commonly found in habitats like heath, moorland, wet meadows, marshes, and mixed forests, where they feed on aphids. These beetles also live in areas with certain plant species like Pinus abies, Betula species, Salix species, and Alnus. Their populations can vary significantly from year to year, and they are active from May to October, hibernating in woody debris during winter. In the former USSR, they are known to feed on aphids found on various plant species.
