This is an identification book to 115 of the 180 species of ladybirds inhabiting Japan.

A comparative illustration of the copulatory organs is included for the difficult-to-recognize family that the Japanese call "Himetentou". Next to showing ladybirds, this book contains tips for collecting and observing.
