Today in my forest: a fourteen-spotted lady beetle. It has one of the most delightful scientific names I’ve ever said aloud. I’ll leave it to you to discover. #insects #beetles

My friends who’ve migrated here from another social media site know that I post lots of pictures of insects I find on walks in my forest. Here’s a bug. Enjoy!
