Yay! Spring has sprung - my first beetle photo of the year!

7 Spot Ladybird - Coccinella septempunctata, the most common of Britain's ladybirds. There was a loveliness of them on a small conifer in our back garden. I think they were feeding on sap from new shoots as I couldn't see any aphids.

Taken hand-held with my new trusty friend, Olympus TG-6.
