Heather Ladybird Chilocorus bipustulatus
This was found by the doorpost of our holiday cottage at night. The moth trap was on round the corner but I suspect this wasn't attracted to the light. It's right elytron didn't seem to be able to close properly and I'm not sure the dents in the left elytron were natural, so I'm assuming it had been in some kind of accident.
