During a revision of collected predatory insects material, three specimens were identified as the scare 7-spot ladybird (Coccinella magnifera Redt.). This is the first record of this species in the Serbian fauna of ladybirds. According to the labeled materials, larvae of ladybirds were collected from infested nettle plants by ant-tended aphid colonies and reared in the laboratory. Predatory insect material was collected during a sampling taken place during 1996 and 1997, surrounding the town of Cacak at the vinicity of the lake Ovcar Banja (Serbia).
