Oof, well done! I've been on the lookout for these for years. They're so rare.

Hahaaa. No way! I do that. Haha. Glad I’m among like minded people on here. I found all sorts of dung fungi that way.

I have since read that it's called Batesian mimicry. They mimic the poisonous ladybird larva because they're harmless. Very cool.

I found a large number of these on a fallen beech on my walk today, seemingly feeding on a fungus. Never seen them before. I looked them up when I got home. Endomychus coccineus - False Ladybird larva. They’re very cool looking.
