Can anyone helpit could be a young ladybird I'am not sure.

The insect is about the same length as a ladybird.

The body is wider more the shape of a turtle shell.

colour is gray with black spots.

Help would be appreciated.

It couild be the lesser hard shelled love beetle from brigadoon but without a photo very difficult to tell, does it rotate as it walks?.:thumbsup:

It's a ladybird or some other form of beetle, unless it's a fish.

Well if its fish like its not the lesser hard shell, it dont like water at all.:thumbsup:
