Evening Peter,
It's the Fourteen-spot Ladybird, Propylea quattuordecimpunctata.
Take care, Jason  |

Good evening Jason  ,
Thank you for your reply. It's surprising the number of varieties there are. I had not appreciated this until I started to look.

Jason is of course spot on, no pun intended !
They are usually more a pale yellow, this one is a nice variation :-)
The 22 Spot is also Yellow, with the 22 Spot the spots are always seperated, whereas with the 14 Spot some are as you have seen linked by black lines :-)
