Very nice shot

Are you sure it's not a Manyspotted Ladybird, BD?
Could well be ... I bow to your superior knowledge ...

It's a good thing that you are seeing so many different insects BD as they also seem to be in short supply this year and are such an essential part of the food chain ... plus they are such good and clear pics!
