Great closeup detail John. Were these recent, how did she survive the frigid temperatures?

I think it's the common 7 spotted which has been around for a long, long time. I'd be concerned, if I was an aphid ...

Thanks very much Guys. Richard, I have no idea. John, you mean the Harlequin... I did have one of those around here sometime in September I think, but they have a lot more spots.
