Taken Yesterday South Coast UK about 8mm body length.
Looks a bit like a ladybird larva but seemed to be too wide and spiky.
Any ideas ?

Thanks

Thanks for the ID- looks like it might be Harmonia axyridis larva. Definitely looked different to the ladybird Larvae I've seen before.

Hi Brian
Definitely Harmonia axyridis. The harlequin ladybird survey people (http://www.harleq...urvey.org/) will be interested to have the record.

Yes, very common in central europe now. The first records in Germany a few years ago: Frankfurt, Hamburg, 2002 Geilenkirchen (coming in from the Netherlands). Today: widespread and common in every corner, various observations about feeding other ladybird-, beetle-, butterfly-larvae. Best regards Frank

These little blighters are really spreading. They reached me on the very eastern outskirts of London and RSPB Rainham Marshes for the first time in March this year, and have been at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park in East London for the past 3 years. At THCP they don't seem to be having the devastating effect on the native 7-spot ladybird that was feared and the guys there are just watching and waiting.
