thanks Martin. OK, will do! Yes I noticed the different coloured pronotum also.

I think they are the same species. I also noted that the pronotum is a different color. They might be married. I'd leave them together.

Hmmm, different specimen, but the same species, Martin? They look very similar, except that on the first one the markings are clearer. Should I separate them into 2 spottings?

Well, its a ladybird beetle. What a handsome one. (actually the first image is a different specimen.) This is as close s I can find. http://saphotographs.blogspot.com.au/2008/12/ladybug-ladybird_24.html
