Visited an immersive Van Gogh exhibit with my daughter the other day. Highly recommend if it comes to your area
This is probably the same ladybird that I found the other night - I can't be sure, but it's a distinct possibility. I'm wondering today though, if it is a female, or not...
There are a few subtle differences to distinguish between a male and female ladybird (not counting the obvious) - which include the anterior coxal spots, longer antennae (in some species) prominent bands between body segments, and more. I read somewhere that another is the eyes of the males have white markings between them whereas females don't.
I'm not an entomologist so I could be wrong... If the last statement is correct, then we are seeing a male here...

Yes it also appears to have it's mouth shut Paul. For that reason, I'm saying male.

I found these on a caterpillar. Nature being nature, I doubt this one will pupate...

This luminous creature caught my eye today out in rural Wiltshire. Taken with my phone so not brilliant quality. Mrs. Whittle (better with insects than plants clearly) thinks it is a Pale Tussock caterpillar, fond of deciduous trees and brambles, of which there were many just by the verge.
+1 on the ID m8.

Sometimes you’re standing in exactly the right spot at exactly the right time. This was yesterday morning from my back bedroom window … I don’t often go in there so this was a lucky catch
When is a stick not a stick?
When it is Ectropis crepuscularia...
Known with the common name as The Engrailed moth. So here are 2 sticks - then.....
A living stick!
