An all orange beetle with a ladybird shape, but no spots! Some large black-brown markings on top of the thorax and an orange head with very black eyes. It was found on a potato plant, and the leaves were not chewed or damaged.

Recently eclosed (emerged from pupal case). Still needs to harden and colour-up. Will be difficult to accurately ID with certainty☹️I suspect it could be Coelophora inaequalis looking at the pronotum.

Thanks to you, Di, that's more learning under my belt! And I've also just discovered what the larvae can look like. Loving it,
Cheers,
