Species 19 - Harlequin Ladybird

I found this on one of our shrubs. This is not good. The Harlequin ladybird is an alien and very agressive species that has recently invaded the UK. There an official project to look at this issue and further details can be found at their website: http://www.harlequin-survey.org/default.htm

This is a very variable species, but this is one of the commonest sub-types
