Whilst out for a walk this afternoon my very observant daughter spotted this strange chap. Any ideas?

Also is this known as a harlequin ladybird or an eyed ladybird?

Hi Rebecca,
Your caterpillar is that of a Drinker moth and I think the ladybird is indeed one of the many variations of the Harlequin.
