I posted a previous, very poor photo of these ladybirds in a previous blogpost. They're orange ladybirds (Halyzia 16-guttata) and there are hundreds of them hibernating in the tops of the fences along part of the Water of Leith.
A couple of days ago Crafty Green Boyfriend and I walked through Colinton Dell, along the Water of Leith. As well as the ladybirds we also noticed this very impressive fungus.
Crafty Green Boyfriend took the photos in this blogpost.

A great set of photos...
I've never seen an orange ladybird! In fact, I never knew there were orange ladybirds. Fantastic.
We are very good for fungi around here though...
Must be a good time for fungi! Lots around here too.
Great photos. So clear. Never knew there were orange ladybirds either. Really like the orange theme, very autumnal and warm :) Thanks ...
Lovely sightings! The ladybirds and the fungi are both wonderful nature sightings.
