Harlequin ladybird.

Sotted this harlequin today, I have seen very of these this year compared to our own native species , maybe as they are bigger the birds are finding them easier to find. Done for TinyTuesday thanks to KangaZu for hosting. I used the Olympus STF-8 flash system as it was quite windy.
After yesterday's marathon bike ride I took it easy today . Started doing the rigging and sails on the USS Constitution , by my progress today it could be quite a while before she is in full sail !!
