Hiya Alliec,

Lovely shots, not sure but it looks like a Ladybird of some sort, I'm sure somebody posted one of these back a while but damned if I can find it

Cheers for now
Mark

Lovely captures- looks a bit like a flea beetle but the carapace is rather deep.

Great shot Alistair.

He does look kind of cute.

Still no help with the ID I'm afraid.

I think it might be Rhyzobius litura, a very small Ladybird of about 2mm, tends to get left off Ladybird ID charts for some reason. Could be newly hatched before it gets some dark markings.
