Yep, one is female.

I think that they are the same species though.

.

I started with that until google messed with my head
Psyllobora 22-punctata Pronotum:yellow with five discrete black spots
and Thea.vigintiduopunctata which is shown with a white pronotum with five discrete black spots
then I find Thea.vigintiduopunctata is under a name of Psyllobora_vigintiduopunctata
Now you see why I asked the question
My ID is a bit shakey at the best of times and all these big words dont help

I suspect they are the same species - quite normal for the colours to be paler in younger specimens.
Having said that as I found out yesterday, different species of ladybird do sometimes mate.
