CLOSED: I think these are both harlequin ladybirds...

Gent, Belgium(Zone 8a)

Harmonia axyridis. And if it is so then I have far more Harlequin ladybirds than the native ones as I had already some others ID as the harlequin earlier in the year!

Both I found in my garden last spring;

They all look like variants of the Harlequin Ladybird to me, they have the fused 'M' on the pronotum.

I found my first Harlequin this September, I have just sent a record and pics to the Harlequin survey here.
