About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Ladybird Larva

 

Ladybird Larva

I took this during the summer. I was excited to see it, I had never seen such a thing before! Despite seeing many, many ladybirds in my time, I'd never seen a ladybird larva until I took this photo! It is always exciting to find something new.

  2. Many people are surprised that the larvae look so different from the adults. I am not quite sure why, since they readily accept that caterpillars become butterflies!

  6. This is the first time I've seen one! Some years we have way too many, and some years there are very few.
