These two cream-spot ladybirds are somewhat too busy, making more ladybirds. I put them back outside after a few more minutes - they very vulnerable at this time, so a little extra protection is no bad thing.

These two were busy making more ladybugs when I found them ... after they had finished, I took some images, this was the best one, and then released them back into the area where I found them. [Calvia 14-guttata] Cream-spot Ladybird - eats aphids, mainly on trees and shrubs. First time I've actually got one of these on camera, I wasn't sure if I remembered seeing them in real life before today, or just in photographs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvia_quatuordecimguttata
