Mollanbowie Road Storm
On Monday 23 May 2011, shortly after midday, winds of up to 100 mph swept across parts of Scotland. At one stage 50,000 homes were without electricity; felled power lines and trees blocked train tracks and major roads. Ferry operator CalMac cancelled more than half of its services.
Sadly there was also one fatality. At the top of Mollanbowie Road a massive oak tree uprooted and hit a passing van driven by a young family man.

10-Spot Ladybird
(Adalia 10-punctata)
This particular example was not far from the road (Image), near an area of woodland.
At first, I took this to be a Cream-streaked Ladybird (Harmonia quadripunctata = Harmonia 4-punctata). However, on revisiting it, I came to the conclusion that it is instead a 10-spot Ladybird (Adalia decempunctata = Adalia 10-punctata). That species is very variable in appearance, but the pronotum (plate above the head), at least, seems distinctive enough.
See http://www.coleoptera.org.uk/species/adalia-decempunctata (at UK Beetle Recording) for pictures and for further information.
