First I've seen of one these LB's in my garden so I'm sure you'll not grudge me a few shots :wink

Where it was, was not an easy position to photograph it so I coaxed it onto my hand.

Withdrawing its head underneath the protection of its Pronotum gives it a rather sad face look.

Thanks Travis. I really like how the eyes contrast so much as opposed to the reds.

I agree. A stunning 'variant' on the ladybug theme :)
