Saw a weird ladybird whilst on my morning ride. It was all black with a pair of red spots. Pretty cool looking IMO. Not sure how common they are though.

They are a 'foreign' species which are destroying the natives as you can see from the above link. I caught 2 today of the H.axyridis spectabilis in the garden.
They want you to report sightings but they don't ask you to destroy them!
When I were nought but a lad I used to collect ladybirds from chesnut fence pailings(sp?) on my way home from school. All sorts of colours/spots they were. Looking at that link I'm guessing they were mostly native species.
