I also looked at centipedes and I suspect Chris' identification of a really immature House Centipede (Scutigerid) is most likely the correct one.
It's a bit ironic that I found this Common Spotted Ladybird (Harmonia conformis) on my bathroom window today!

Yes - it was released onto my rose garden the instant our photo session ceased!
Order: Coleoptera
Family: Coccinellidae

Hi Junior Lepid
Thanks for the suggestion of the Mealy-bug Ladybird. I did not know they existed, but I believe I have seen such adults, but thought they were a regular beetle. I am sure it is not that creature, but the more we learn.....
Speaking of that, I have linked back to your other website, re the Orange-peel Fungus, which I now realise was not a good suggestion.
But we both were working on the other's queries. Not a bad thing to do.
Thanks
Denis
We get Harmonia conformis down here but I haven't seen one in winter.
Thanks Denis - the more we learn is spot on and it's ongoing! I think it's great some of us with a common interest have been able to link up via these blogs.
Mosura, that little fact hadn't escaped my notice either. I normally see Ladybirds from October, not July!
I've got a photo of a nice little beetle that I'll post soon JL, similar to a ladybird, one for you to help me with.
LOL - don't bet on it, Duncan - but I will be interested to look at it.
