Harlequin Ladybird (Asian Lady Beetle) - Pupa

Description:

I believe these are a couple of Harlequin Ladybirds in pupa form, in the process of transforming in to their final state. These are the same species as the Larvae I spotted previously (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11...). These are not native to Britain but have been declared the fastest invading species in the UK, spreading throughout the country after the first sighting was confirmed in 2004.

Habitat:

Garden, cherry and fig tree leaves.
