This 7-spot Ladybird was very close to our Suffolk home. I imagine a bit of sunshine had caused the insect to arise from its overwintering state. You can see the early signs of new spring growth on the shrub.
I have just added this sighting to iRecord so that the information can be used by the UK Ladybird Survey.

Pretty ladybug! Great sighting.
beautiful photo Caroline, always lovely to see a ladybird!
Nice find Caroline. I've still not seen any Ladybirds this year.
They are a very good looking bug. I don't think they like snow so we won't be seeing them for a while.
Lovely to see a 7-spot. All I seem to see at the moment are Harlequin - there seem to be dozens crawling round the bathroom!
I have been keeping an eye out for Ladybirds as the Park, I do most of my blog from here.The park was over run with Harlequin Ladybirds last year, with big numbers at the end of the summer, they covered me as I walked round. I am interested how this has effected the Ladybird population. I too will record them.
