These look awful

Just found one of these in our shop, in Bath, England. Initially we thought it might be a BITER but after reading all the comments, we have released it into next door's garden.

Dear Spike bug Anonymous
Please read the entry at the bottom of this comment page and you will see what this insect is.
Also note this is a beneficial insect. So, tho I realize not all people love 'bugs' like I do, this is a good bug and are great to have in our gardens.

You are fortunate to have lady beetles in your garden...even if they crawl on the swimming pool...perhaps they just needed a spot to sun! or a drink of water?
They are good bugs of the garden. Enjoy!!

This is a lady beetle larva. A good bug of the garden. It feeds on aphids, caterpillars, and other bad bugs of the garden. So, enjoy having them around the deck. They are probably eating aphids on a bush near the deck. There are a few stages of the larva as they grow larger and before they turn into pupas and then into adults. The adult lady beetles are also great helpers in the garden.
