        I'm sure these are quite common, but I've never noticed a 'reverse ladybird' like this before.

        Made me smile.

            @Oaktavia it's called a Harlequin ladybird. Apparently they're invasive to the UK, and more toxic than the typical variety.

              @T4920 I assume it was inspecting whether your wabash was a reverse twill fabric!

              The journey is the objective.

                                        Quite taken with this little guy who’s just moved into my kitchen. Possibly a least carpet (Idaea rusticata).

                                          Got some cool shots of a cicada emerging from its shell. Unfortunately ants attacked it while it was coming out.
