Well spotted!

I was so pleased to see this 7 spot ladybird in my garden today. I have seen precious few of these lovely and oh so useful little beetles this year: apparently the slow cold start to Spring and Summer has been the cause of their diminished numbers.

If you look to the right of the shot you will see a bonus bug in the shape of a spider scrambling out of the away.

I'm still looking for volunteers to help me with my rooftop shots (only 35-40 ft up!!) so watch this space!
