Unfortunately I am unable to upload the photo from my computer as it is not recognised as a valid file name.This is a bit frustating but I can describe it as a bit like a ladybird, red with black markings and was suckered on to a leaf. Hope you can help.

Can you load it by putting it on photobucket then onto here?-I fear this is going to be tricky otherwise.
Lily beetle?
Could be one of many different species. Google asparagus beetle, Red & Black Froghopper. Really need a photo.
Sorry about the blip, Daisy...does this help?

Whoops...I brought up a great page of likely culprits with google images...but it's reverted to google home page.
Daisy, not sure if this works any better than Frank's. I just googled read and black beetle UK. Hope you get a page full of photos to help you identify your insect.
