I saw this beetle on a beech tree infested with Cryptococcus fagisuga. According to the US Dept of Agriculture Forestry Service there is a ladybird called Chilocorus stigma that feeds on the scale, but I don't think it's that one.

[Later] - I think it's the Orange Ladybird Halyzia 16-guttata (UK Ladybird Survey)
