It's a Seven-spot Ladybird, Peter.

Yes 7 Spot, perhaps our most common species of ladybird. |

Morning Peter,
I assume ILN is referring to the Scarce Seven-spot Ladybird, which is a lot more elusive and associated with Wood Ants/nests.
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | Good morning Jason. Thanks for your info . Thats one hell of an association but I guess if flies, butterflies, aphids etc can have ants as friends then why not the humble ladybird

Where the Scarce 7-spot Ladybird does occur, eg. some of the Surrey heaths it can be locally common, but as Jason says, usually in association with Wood Ant nests. |

I do not live too far away and there is a lot of heathland at the A3/M25 junction area. I might take a trip up there to see if I can spot these. What special characteristics should I look out for?
