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
