The primary habitat is temperate coniferous forest including Central European mixed forests and Sarmatic mixed forests, Scandinavian montane birch forest. Most frequently on pines but also on Picea abies and other Picea species, Betula pendula and other Betula species, and Populus tremula. Both larval and adult eyed-ladybirds mainly feed on aphids on pine trees, especially the waxy grey pine needle aphid (Schizolachnus pineti).

The adult Anatis ocellata (eyed ladybird) has a variable number of black spots (usually 15-18, but may be 0-23) on a red background. Each spot is surrounded by a yellowish halo. The pronotum is black with a thick white U-shaped mark and two small white spots. The antennae are brown, and the legs are black and brown. Anatis ocellata is a large coccinellid, with a body length of 7-8.5 mm.
