Thank you :) I use to call them false ladybird but I guess that name is not very common and couldn't find its Latin :) Really so vivid? This one more like: "why do I have to move anywhere", slow as a turtle ;)
Nice spotting! I had the same today, but mine was so hyperactive like he just drank his coffee... unlike me. :D
