    I'm guessing it is a transverse ladybird. Do you have a top view that shows more of the spots?

      As strange as it looks, it is more likely a variation of the 7-spot ladybird where the spots look more like merging patches.

The Seven-spotted Lady Beetle

Coccinella septempunctata is the most common ladybird in Europe. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names.
