Coccinella septempunctata.  A voracious predator that may eat as many as five thousand aphids, hemiptera, and bionicle mask bugs in its brief three- to six-week lifespan.  Or until I take it apart.  Bold red and black markings warn larger creatures that ABS tastes awful and is hard to chew.  

With all those studs, perhaps this one is more "model team" or "creator" than "technic"?  It's technic on the inside though.  Simple functions.  The legs are driven by the black twelve-tooth bevel gear.  And the wings, once deployed, flap together from the dark bley eight-tooth gear.   

The big 3,000 piece UCS version with motorized legs, elytra, and wings is still under development…
