Inadequate camouflage...

There's always some risk to a bit of garden nookie... maybe Mrs Grundy will get a shock, perhaps some delicate bits will get too much sun... but if you're bright red and hiding in plain sight amidst the green foliage you are likely to be spotted from far far away...

Leonard and Linda Lily Beetle were immensely pleased with themselves. They'd already felt the Earth move once today... and then suddenly they felt another unexpected trembling... Oh, this was going to be great...! Nothing would ever be as good as this... ever again...

Squish. Sorry Leonard. Sorry Linda.
