Harlequin Ladybirds (Harmonia axyridis succinea), (Harmonia axyridis conspicua), (Harmonia axyridis spectabilis) and a Harlequin Ladybird variant I couldn't find a name for, as well as a Seven Spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata). All, and there were a dozen or so, were feasting on aphids which had made their nursery on one of my sweet corn plants. Not that I'm complaining, they do a good job, although the growing proliferation of invasive non native Harlequin Ladybirds is a worry.
