Too little time, too much to read.
I've just been in the garden and caught a bunch but they are all 7 spot. Do you still want those? When I was gardening yesterday they were everywhere!

Its all the same thing, the Asian beetle, 'American' (I know they're not actually American), the Harlequin ladybird and the Halloween ladybird are all the same speciesIts also called the 'Many named ladybird' sometimes. Thanks, I'm pretty sure if you're in America they would either die or be confiscated on the way over
Found this handy ID guide on BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14043356
I think I have some near us, I'll send you some

haha I second that! I lived in park village and we had a massive infestation of ladybirds pretty much all year round ... only on one side of the building though (and thankfully not mine lol!)

I had a whole herd of them in the summerhouse last year, but none this year! Sorry!

Ladybirds are Go! Sent off 1st class!
Feisty little beggars were trying to escape in my kitchen. All American type.
Two of my customers have serious infestations each year, even getting on the kids beds and they smell awful. Really hope they don't threaten our delightful English ladybirds.

I saw one the other day, think it was a 13 spot. First one this year, and that's no joke! Landed on the side of my stable
