  I'd say top is a harlequin and the 2 at the bottom are as well. The middle one is a 2 spot. There is a black colour morph for the 2 spot though so the top one could be one as well but it looks a bit wrong to me.
  

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

   Am I right in thinking that we are not to kill the harlequins now due to the dwindling of our native ones?

  hopefully the ones making ladybirds lay in our garden - thanks for the link pansy

  Thanks I feel the same. A few years ago I remember there being something written about trying to stop their spead. Although the red lily beetle doesn't get a warm reception here. Thanks again
