I'm in the process of making our back garden into a home for as much wildlife as possible. One of the bugs I really wanted was ladybirds to munch on aphids so I was very pleased to stumble upon one that had only just emerged from it's larva.

Hi Falesh,

I guess it's Harmonia axyridis, the Harlequin, but it is not sure from this view. Do you have another phote taken from another perspective?

Agree, it's definitely a Harlequin.

Unfortunately I didn't get many shots as it was a tricky angle and then it disappeared.
