Newcastle Downunder

This is the fungus eating ladybird, Illeis galbula My oriental type poppy that I blipped a few days back has developed some powdery mildew. Thankfully this ladybird is helping out and eating it for me. I have about 6 seed pods so I think I will have enough seeds to keep the poppies going for next year.

I was rather fascinated by the patterns on the underside of the poppy leaf. You might need to go large for the full effect.

PS another drizzly grey day. Freespiral you can have your weather back now.
