Title: Name that bug? (Zpyder!)
Post by: addictweb on May 15, 2011, 13:31:57 PM
A friend posted this on facebook asking what it is, thought someone here might be able to assist.

Ladybird larvae, probably a harlequin ladybird ;)

Scratch that, most likely 7-spot. I said harlequin to start with as they're an invasive that are progressively taking over the country, pretty much one of the most common ladybirds in the UK now.

Awesome. I had no idea at all, im surprised ive never seen one given the number of ladybirds around where I lived as a child.

Thought I could rely on you  :thumbup:
