In fact I saw four different types of ladybird all rushing about on the same arm. Unfortunately it was too fast for me to take a clear photo. Obviously I wasn't the only life force taking advantage of a sunny, relatively warm corner of the churchyard.
A pleasant sight. We have had very few Ladybirds this year.
ReplyDeleteWe call them ladybugs here but I haven't seen any recently. I think it is getting too cold here. We may have more snow flurries tonight!
ReplyDeleteThough they all look different they're all the same species- Harlequin Ladybird.
ReplyDeleteCould they all possibly be different colours of Harlequin Ladybirds? They appear in so many shapes and sizes. Hope you are keeping well.
