i found a ladybird this morning which was black with red spots, but it also had a white head?
i popped it in a cup with a piece of paper over it to bring it home to photograph - but it escaped (in my car so i hope it isnt a killer bug lol!)

Since it had a white head it was probably Ladybird Johnson.

Ooo err! It looks like you might have found a 'deadly' rare one - see the attached link, does it look like the one in the picture?

Sounds like a harlequin one to me. Not sure though. Never seen one myself.

Rather than the botany (plant) section, you may get more answers in the biology or zoology sections, particularly if you give more detail.
