  Reply to Worcesterwatcher. Some harlequin ladybirds are almost entirely black, and there is still a worry that they will out-compete, or even eat, native 7-spots. But there are also several native black ladybirds. You can download a ladybird ID sheet at

  On holiday in Dorset, on the cliff top near Durdle Door we found two ladybirds that were black with red spots, has anyone else seen these?
