Found this little 2-spot ladybird on the Pyracantha shrub in the front garden hiding away from the drizzly rain. Being keen on natural history, out came the camera... obviously.

Not every one is spot on focus wise, cos the branch was a ways bit in and the spines on the Pyracanthra will pierce the toughest of skin, so did the best I could manage.
