Yesterday whilst spraying some ants saw a bug I have not seen before. It was like a little red beetle with an 8 on its back. Reminded me a an American football shirt.

I saw some others yesterday with an 8 on the back but the ones i saw originally where a deep bright red. That`s why they reminded me of a football shirt..............

Don't know what your beetles are, but have seen them also.
I've seen a strange bug in my garden too, anybody who can identify this???
