By and large these will all be European. I'd love to see pictures of ladybirds from elsewhere in the world.
This was Europe's largest, the pine ladybird Anatis ocellata:

I know the latin name is right for your picture but Anatis ocellata is usually referred to as the eyed ladybird. Exochomus quadripustulatus is usually referred to as the pine ladybird, Although both are commonly found on pine tree's.
