14-spot Ladybird, which landed on me while I drank my coffee in the garden this morning. Most examples are brighter yellow than this. The second photo shows my thumb for scale: it is a tiny species. #ladybirds

A photograph of two seven spot ladybirds, well, making more seven spot ladybirds. These are fairly large ladybirds with red bodies with black spots and two white spots by the thorax. A black head and thorax with a few white spots. Very pretty ladybirds and loads here. We counted to 35 and gave up. Coccinella septempunctata.
A photograph of a bee. It is sunning itself on cow parsley. It’s gots a fuzzy, orangish thorax with a black with white stripes abdomen. It’s an Andrena species, possibly Andrena nitida.
A photograph of another Andrena sp bee. Not sure which one. There were quite a few of these very little bees buzzing about. Its thorax is deep brown and bare with some yellow hairs on the side. Its abdomen is also brown, with white stripes. It’s also sunning itself on some cow parsley.
A photograph of an absolute stunner of a hoverfly. This is a rather chonky beast, with a bronze-brown thorax and a yellow and black striped abdomen. It is outlined with small golden hairs, which makes it glitter in the sun. Very blingy. It is sunning itself on a cow parsley leaf (those plants were very very popular!) Epistrophe eligans.
Some invertebrates from this week - so great to see more coming out of their slumber 😍
Using the TG-7 and still learning. But a great little camera to take out when I can’t be bothered with the ‘proper’ camera

📢 Reconstructing Coccinellini Phylogeny
A new study by W. Tomaszewska (MIZ PAS) & colleagues uncovers a time-calibrated phylogeny of 200+ “true ladybird” species, revealing boreotropical origin, multiple migrations & shifts in diet 🐞🧬

So will have to do something else for the next hour or so! What occasionally happens when stripping out a fairly old building. #ladybirds #Coccinellidae

A ladybird on a Coreopsis Grandiflora flower bud, in overcast and breezy conditions. An open yellow flower on a stalk is partially seen across the bottom on the frame. The background are leaves and stalks of the plant, blurred. It is mid afternoon and what light there is makes the insect appear rather shiny, looking as if it might have been painted rather than in a photograph.
A ladybird on what will be a Coreopsis grandiflora flower, in overcast and breezy conditions.

Well here is a loveliness of #ladybirds for sure.
Today didn't go to plan. So I am sat in a park while a helpful mechanic checks out my car for me.
And I spotted the gathering. Reminding me that life is about so much more than broken cars and cancelled plans. #nature #connection #lifeiseverywhere

I found a ladybird on an anemone I was moving. I tried to relocate him to my strawberries but he said he’d rather stay on my sleeve 🥰 He got off eventually 🐞🍓🌿 #wildlifewednesday #insects #wildlife #ladybirds

It’s been a bit of a ladybird day. Here’s a huddle seen on a gate post this afternoon. Mostly 7-spot with a light sprinkling of Harlequins.
