the black spines on a yellow body suggest Epilachna sp., a 'leaf-eating ladybird', but I can't be sure. Here's a couple of images from elsewhere, just for your interest:

That's an amazing beetle - I've never seen one like this. Well done Steve.

It's a pupa ... it will look very different when it emerges as an adult!
