Harlequin Ladybird

Trying to identify this ladybird I discovered that it is a Harlequin ladybird, an invasive species that is now more common than the native variety, red with black spots that you think of when you imagine a ladybird.

I am most disappointed with the photo, as I could not get close enough to capture a shot without losing the focus, but as it is the first ladybird I have seen this year could not resist.
