Harmonia axyridis succinea captured 170607 in South Lincolnshire, England. This is a migrant Asian variety commonly known as the Harlequin that is feared may ultimately undermine the survival of native species. Where there are aphids, some white ones are in the picture, you will probably find ladybirds. Details of how to send live specimens or digital photos for identification (some can easily be confused with native species) can be found at the public information website harlequin-survey.org
All you keen photographers can be an enormous help to this survey, so PLEASE spread the word, Harlequin!
