Halyzia is a genus in the ladybird family, Coccinellidae. The Halyzia sedecimguttata is identified by its orange color and 14-16 spots on its back. Halyzia is concentrated in European deciduous forests. They can be found in the edges of woodlands or bushes.
Halyzia, like many insects has an egg stage, a larval stage, a pupa stage and an adult stage. Once the female lays her eggs, they will hatch in 4–10 days. Halyzia will molt many times before it becomes a full grown adult. Like moths, Halyzia is attracted to light. These Insects will be frequently found in moth traps.
