A small and variable ladybird - which confusingly doesn't always have 10 spots. Newly hatched specimens take a while to develop the orange background colour and appear pale brown like the image below. The legs are orange on this species which is a helpful guide to identification.
Though variable, the various colour forms are all identifiable.
Woodland, gardens with trees.
March to October.
