Green Tortoise Beetle ?

Is this a Green Tortoise Beetle? If not, could anyone tell me what it is please? Seen today (Shocklach, south Cheshire) but never seen here before.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Alison

Alison,

A Thistle Tortoise Beetle (I think) (Cassida rubiginosa) - moderately common in the County.
