Uncommon in Britain, usually on flowers or old wood,
but here in a garden and perched on a line of washing!

lol, yeah it's not the quadrifasciata, it's the maculata. Like everything stu that is "common"... it isn't anymore... Sad Lots of bugs (and everything in general) you just don't see as much as you used too... and those older than me will realise it even more.
