  2. Finally been able to lift the blind outside the sliding glass door & check the garden. Still very hot out there, but the sun is going down. The BOM it’s still 35c, the sensor on glass beside the outside door says 29c. If it gets below 26c I’ll know I can open up. I’ll wait & see.
    Everything seems fine & there’s even water still in the birdbaths which is good. It’s what I noticed when I checked the Dogwood though that really made my day - baby ladybirds 🐞 nestling inside the young leaves. Keeping cool 🤷🏼‍♀️, who knows. #HeatWave #AussieSummer #Ladybirds.

    ‘A round-table discussion at the ladybird book club. The ladybirds like to gather on the miscanthus, and stay for days. What can they be talking about?’

  4. Not a clear photo. However, it is of a cluster of ladybirds on the shower room corner of the ceiling near a window. It wasn't there yesterday ( neither was the spider near it). I thought it was spider eggs until I collected them in a specimen jar.) I'm curious that way! Looked up about ladybirds' behaviour. They are Harlequin Ladybirds, not native to the Uk But well established.All this before 5.10 am. No creature was harmed in this episode. They were deposited outside. Is not that cold! If I continue with an idea with this project, I've given myself ( working title Domestic Drift/Micro-Tides), who knows what I will discover! #fediverse #mastodon #ladybirds

  5. Seriously, Momma Natura?
    You did this on purpose, right?

  6. This one looks really angry.
    Todd MacFarlane must have a gene-mod factory.

    ladybirds:

  8. 14/09/2025 - A sunny day out. Slow stroll looking at trees and bugs. Aberdeenshire was looking lovely today in the September sunshine. Two new things I've not come across before, both on the same oak tree, oak artichoke galls and a little larch ladybird.

  13. The sun is out and so are all the bugs! Ladybirds feeling romantic and bees doing their thing plus a black ladybird... could be a Harlequin? Not sure, and even if it is, I don't know whether it's a friend or not (in plague proportions they're apparently bad but aren't we all?)

    Not pictured: some aphids (unsurprisingly), and two different kinds of flies.

    Anyway, the bugs – invasive or not – are loving the tree and the birds are loving the bugs and it's such a thrill to watch

  14. Two familiar critters seen on my short trip to the allotment this evening. A Seven-spot Ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) 🐞 and a Gatekeeper butterfly (Pyronia tithonus) 🦋 #Ladybirds #Ladybugs #Butterflies #Allotments #Kent #England

  15. M'n ouwe tablet heeft weer overuren gedraaid om het op beeld te krijgen: het ontpoppen van een lieveheersbeestje.

    #Flower strips could save #apple farmers pest control costs
    Flower strips create a home for a team of helpful #insects – like #ladybirds, #hoverflies, and #lacewings – that eat harmful pests such as aphids. This natural team of pest controllers helps keep apple trees healthy with less need for chemical sprays.

  17. New on my #blog: aspi.blog/2024/03/30/cricket-s
    #cricket #CricketMastodon #photography #birds #insects #bees #butterflies #ladybirds
    A look ahead to the upcoming English cricket season, including a couple of potential new England players (one, James Rew, a near certainty in my view, and the other, Tom Lawes, an outside bet). Also a huge photo gallery.

  18. This is a loveliness of ladybirds preparing themselves for winter.

    The collective noun for a group of #ladybirds is called a loveliness. What an apt name for these #beetles

    These harlequin ladybirds will hunker down and become dormant over the winter, whilst there is a scarcity of food. Not all species of ladybirds group together, some like the Seven-spot prefer a solitary spot, within tree bark, gaps of rocks or leaves
