Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home ...

A few days ago, I was down on all fours, photographing a handful of dug-over, dried out Bird's-nest Fungi, when I happened to catch sight of this little Ladybug sitting on a shrivelled leaf. Like the Mountain Ash in my previous photo, this little Seven-spotted Ladybug is also a non-native species, which has unfortunately greatly reduced the numbers of our own native Ladybugs. Still pretty though, eh?
