Cinnamon Bug

I spotted a Holly Blue butterfly feeding on the thyme in my garden.  Would she wait around long enough for me to find the camera, plus putting the SD card in and clearing it down, and take her portrait? Yes she would!  In fact she flitted around for half hour or so giving me ample opportunity for shots.

However, she has been relegated to an extra as I spotted a red and black bug on the fading lavender.  On initial sight I thought it might have been a ladybird larvae, but no, this small bug turned out to be a Cinnamon Bug and one I'd never seen before - let alone in my garden. So it just has to be today's image for the Tiny Tuesday challenge, hosted by JDO this month. Look large to see the markings in detail.
