Ladybird lunching

[Paul Iddon]

Very easy on the eye with just two large spots of black in red, on a black wing case, this ladybird is either a harlequin, a 2-spot, or a kidney spot, or if I am lucky, I've found the mutation of all 3 in one

They love aphids. Big ones, little ones, makes no odds. Dozens a day if they can!

Looks like its got one here m8.

Thanks Neil. They'll occasionally take other scale insects, but aphids is their starter, main course, and sweet!
