Anyone else?
Cheers

They are both Harlequin.
You say an odd few, I hadn't seen any for a few weeks until yesterday when I came out of work and found at least 12 on the walls of the building. I'm sure there were more around but I couldn't stop and search.
Also my wife said they saw a lot of ladybirds, presumably Harlequin, at a local park.

There are still many about as larvae and pupae (in Northampton yesterday I found only one imago but lots of larvae pupating and many pupae so there's likely to be a lot of adults there in a week or so).
Size no longer seems to be a criterion - there are many small ones. especially males - commonly msllaer than 7-spots.

I had seen very few Harlequins recently, but on Sunday several landed on my front wall in the warm sunshine. |

Nige | Same here, then all of a sudden about 20 7-spots have appeared in my garden, and a couple of harlequins.

This year I have seen nothing but 7 spots in the garden and loads of them. definitely more 7 spots than I have seen before. |

Had another 9 at least at work here yesterday. I think the rain will keep them hidden today though.
