Orange Ladybird With Black Spots

Here's a quick picture that I took of an orange Ladybird with black spots. From looking around on Google images, apparently this is a Harlequin Ladybird. These are said to be somewhat of a threat to "normal" red and black Ladybirds. However, the "threat" which was hyped up by the media, was a few years ago now, and has since died down a bit.

I don't know how much of an impact other species of Ladybirds invading the UK has had on the population numbers of normal Ladybirds in the UK, but this one was photographed in the UK around early summer time 2018.
