Invader Update
As I don't have a digital camera, I've adapted an existing photograph (below) to give you an artist's impression of the most spectacular colour variety of Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) I've found in my garden in East London/Essex. So far I've spotted three different colour varieties of this menace in my garden.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen and ladybird like this before. In ohio the orange japanese ladybird dominates and the house gets full of them. Don't see the bright red one's anymore.
I haven't heard of any hibernating infestions in the UK so far, but I've read about them in the US and seen photos. Gross. Apparently they smell unpleasant too.
This little beauty with the white spots on orange flashes is the first I've seen, and I couldn't find any photos on the Web. So it might be a new colour variety.
