Found this freshly emerged ladybird today. I expect the spots develop later.

Thanks Sam and Mark.

I went back after a few hours and it had started to develop spots, but it flew off before I could get a photo.

I would have thought "spotless" would be more fitting!

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone.
