We call they Ladybugs.
We use to watch these little beetles climb up our fingers and recite the rhyme:
"Ladybird, ladybird fly away home,
Your house is on fire and your children are gone", by which time they usually flew off.

Anthony, thats wonderful! We do the same but the song is another:
"God's cow, God's cow,
Fly to the sky,
Bring us a bread,
White and black,
Not burnt!"

This young lady is a new one to me.
Shorter legged, except for the front pair, than the usual Harvestman (Harvestperson?) I normally encounter.

The body markings were a surprise.
She's cute   ;)

Crikey Fred, if you find HER cute then you'd better never meet me face to face... the excitement would be too much for you!  :o ::) ;D

Wow Maggi, do you have body markings too? :P


Edit :- I believe she's an Oligolophus tridens

Olga, it is interesting that you call the ladybird "God's Cow" as the Irish for the ladybird is "Bóín Dé" which translates as God's little cow.

Olga,
Thank you for posting the link to Igor's blog - that's another half hour happily spent in front of the computer screen. :D
I wondered whether he was better-known outside Russia, and scrolling down the English version of the blog I found that he is part of the Wild Wonders of Europe project. If anyone hasn't heard of it, here's the link: http://www.wild-wonders.com/      Set aside a evening for this one  ;)

Still a few butterflies around when the sun shines.  I saw this Peacock on Friday, a Small Tortoiseshell on Saturday and a Red Admiral today.
