Cynegetis impunctata is a species of ladybird native to continental Europe. In Germany it is known as the grass ladybird, unspotted ladybird or ochre ladybird.
The adult beetles are about 3 to 4.5 mm long, strongly domed and ochre-brown in colour. There are usually no spots, but some specimens have spots or may be darker in colour.
The species lives in damp meadows and woodlands.
Adults and larvae are vegetarian and polyphagous, on grasses such as couch-grass (Elymus repens), false oat-grass (Arrhenatherum elatius) and reed canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea).[1] [2]
It is found in Austria, Belgium, non-alpine Germany, Norway, Poland, Sweden and less frequently in other countries.[3] [4] As of 2012 it is not reported from the British Isles.
