Fungi and ladybirds

 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.

    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...

    Great photos. So clear. Never knew there were orange ladybirds either. Really like the orange theme, very autumnal and warm :) Thanks ...
