Just a short video I made of a ladybug racing across my car...

There have been all sorts about. There have been quite a few of these black ones but there are also lots of two, seven and nineteen spot reds. I actually suspect that this one isn't a native and is in fact a Harlequin which are an Asian species introduced as pest control but they are now endangering our smaller natural species. The last few years there's been some worry about our native species numbers but its been a good year for insects so things are looking up.

I can't think of any time a species has been 'introduced' that hasn't resulted in a disaster somewhere down the road...
