No amount of cajolery...
Basically it's generally a light brown, orange or burgundy colour with cream 'streaks' on its wing cases and a varying number of spots. The closest UK relative to a harlequin (although it is non invasive) and easily confused with a 10 spot which also has a huge amount of different possible patterns. Unlike those, cream streaked ladybirds generally get found on or around conifers though. Apparently the bands of merged spots (as in my previous post) are more unusual.
