I love ladybirds and will not listen if anyone tells me they’re a pest! Though I have heard bad rumours about those cheeky harlequins!! Great photo š

It won’t be me telling you that they’re pests! š Ladybugs are beneficial insects and keep those pest-y aphids at bay. Never saw one actually fly before this one, though! š
