The yellow peril.

Lots of spots.. :o)

It looks like a child's painted toy - did it have wheels underneath, Toto?

How did you know Gee?
Definitely lots of spots TT.

Great pic Toto

Can I presume he is a goodey like the usual ladybirds?

I think he is Dawn...I think the nasty 1 is black with red spots isnt it? Nice photo Toto.............

Dont know Maureen, no doubt the Boys will enlighten us, lol.

The nasty one is the Harlequin which, as usual is an invader from the continent.
Thank you all.

He doesnt look real, thought it was a garden orname nt, but a great shot!

~apparently non predatory they eat nasty fungi and mildew~must admit that I would have thought thiis was one of the bad guys but it is defensive colouring to make you think it is nasty!

Thanks Pansy and Arlene.
This is actually the Twenty Two Spot Ladybird - Psyllobora 22-punctata. As Arlene says, it feeds on mildews and is abundant in grassy areas.

Looks nasty but apparently not :o)

I never saw this before!!
toto, you are certainly educating me.

Newfie. Do yourself a big favour. Never believe anything I say. I am a complete idiot and proud of it.
Not harmful Hywel.

:P

Guess we have lots in common, toto...lol..

Yes Newfie. Life's too short to be taken seriously.

LOL.... better and better... Toto you're a gem! oh yeah, and the bug is special too! lol...

Thanks Lori. A gem? I've been called lots of things but never a gem.
