Top is definitely Harlequin larva. The one below is a different species- 7-spot I think. |

Afternoon Graham,
Yes, I agree with Jason ( no name-based loyalties, honest!  ) that the second larva is indeed that of the Two-spot - in the Seven-spot the orange markings nearest the tail-end are at the sides.
Additionally the head of the afore-mentioned larva is partially orange as opposed to a pale grey as we have here.
Take care, Jason  |

The first is not a 7-spot but I think not a 2-spot either. Without looking things up, I would say a cream-spot, Calvia quattuordecimguttata but I shall look at it again in the morning!  | | |
