Interesting ladybird

[ffutures]

My brother-in-law found this on the roof while cleaning gutters. I'm not sure if it's alive, dead, or hibernating, but it appears to be a ladybird with a black body and rather nice colour on the spots.

My first attempt at putting a picture into a livejournal gallery - to be honest I'm not very impressed, think I'll stick to Photobucket.

Here's a good page that shows some more strange ladybirds (http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/beneficial/lady_beetles.htm). Yours isn't listed there, but there are one or two that are similar.
