Interesting ladybird

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.

The shell did look a bit crumpled - tried taking one from the other side but it didn't look clear on the computer. I think it was either dead or hibernating, didn't want to prod it too hard to find out.
