Propylea quattuordecimpunctata
This is a fairly common ladybird (especially in the English Midlands). It always has a darkened midline and its 'spots' are usually quite square. There may be fourteen distinct, small spots but these are variable and may enlarge and join up. The spots may eventually become so large that the ladybird appears to be black with a few yellow spots. There is always a black mark down the midline. Information from The London and Essex Ladybird Surveys
