  1. For the 5th prompt of #PrinterSolstice2526 odd: This is my 8” x 8” lino block print on delicate Japanese washi paper of a seven-spotted lady beetle, or ladybird or lady bug (Coccinella septempunctata) on a pink apple blossom. Like most blossoms it has an odd number of leaves (5) & like some lady beetles, this one obviously has an odd number of spots.

  2. 🧵 If you listened to my micro-macro-amplifyer you could hear a "roaaarrr!" against #aphids on my rose. In German, #ladybird larvae are called Blattlauslöwen, #aphid lions.

    Because of the warm winter and the terrible dryness, we have myriads of aphids. And because of farmers using more pesticides, we have less #insects and insect eating #birds. So more aphids*. Everything is #interconnected. Read ALT!

  3. 🐞🌼 Spotted this seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) exploring an ox-eye daisy on my morning walk. There's something meditative about watching these tiny creatures navigate their floral worlds. Did you know these are Europe's most common ladybird species? And of course, they are natural, organic pest control! I love how the iPhone macro captures these miniature moments that we might otherwise miss.
