A Giant Step For Bugkind

If you're in the UK - can you believe how cold and grey it's been? I am wearing a winter jumper!

The cold, grey summer means fewer insects. Already the butterfly trusts have recorded sightings that are way down. I've seen quite a lot of bees of various varieties in my garden. However, I've seen almost no native ladybirds (the 7-spot) so to find this one trundling around today was a pleasant surprise.
