| We spent a glorious afternoon in the grounds at Ickworth near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. |
 |
| We spotted (sorry!) seven Ladybirds. My first photo shows a Seven-spot Ladybird on bark. |
 |
| I also noticed this Funnel-web Spider web, and threw the photo in for a 'spot' of variety. |
 |
| This Seven-spot Ladybird was enjoying the brickwork ... |
 |
| . . . and this one was walking along a leaf in the Spring sunshine. |
I was pretty sure that these were not Harlequins but native British Seven-spot Ladybirds. However, I checked on the
Harlequin Ladybird Survey site just to be sure (where I read '
If it's red with precisely 7 black spots, it is a
7-spot ladybird)'. I felt confirmed in my ID.
So I went across to the
UK Ladybird Survey website to record my sightings. Please consider doing the same if you come across these creatures. You might enjoy a look at the Survey's
gallery page.
