after church today

I went outside after church to play ball tig with some friends. Plenty of ladybirds around when I noticed this oversized monster on one of the graves. At first, I just assumed it was a harlequin but judging by its size I considered that it might have been an eyed-ladybird, the largest ladybird in Britain. I managed to borrow my mum and dad's seriously naf camera and take some record shots. I have just looked it up now on the internet and my bug does match those on the internet. hooray, my second eyed ladybird ever.

  
just a size comparison. on the right is a blurred 2-spot ladybird
what a beautiful animal
