Lovely image for WW, Ben. 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Great to see a lady bird out and about 🙂
Indeed! Aphids beware 😉
Indeed! Spring is nigh! 🙂
Lovely image, that’ s a harlequin isn’ t it?
A lady bug (or lady bird bug as my grandmother called them.) A voracious appetite for aphids, so always welcome in the garden 🙂
Yes, but it has so many spots that I think it must be a Harlequin ladybird; Harmonia axyridis. They only arrived in the UK in 2004, but they are the fastest spreading alien species on record. They are responsible for the decline in our native ladybirds.
I think you might be right. It’s such a shame when an introduced species pushes out the natives. We are swamped a couple of times a year with murmurations of starlings that run off all the other birds…
Gorgeous .. And so very welcome in the garden
Aphids beware! 🙂
Indeed! 😃
Such a welcome sight!
