7 spot ladybird

Yesterday there was a gap in the 31dayswild theme this month, but not to worry, it wasn't so much due to my inability to see and photograph a suitable invertebrate, but more to the overabundance of them as I visited a local nature reserve, but you may want to go to my Wild at Hull blog to find out. So, continuing in today's stormy day 7, I bring you a fresh 7 spot ladybird. Despite the abundance of Harlequin ladybirds in the garden, 7 spots seem to be having a good season and I have seen them regularly this year. This one was giving this knapweed bud a good check for aphids.
