This is called the 7-spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata), one of our native species which I often see in the garden.

Spring Has Sprung

7-spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) – I have seen quite a few of these around the garden, and no doubt the sunshine and elevated temperatures have enticed them out of hibernation. Good news for the garden. This one was in the hollow of a curved leaf. Double-click image to enlarge.
