I actually use it as a habitat identifier.<br /><br />10-spot can be seen on verges, path edges and woodland edges. It's tiny, about a match-head size. Yes: harlequins are very varied too, but they're not on my radar since they haven't arrived this far north and west yet, although they are found further south in Ireland.<br /><br />That greenhouse/orangery must have been some sight in its hey-day.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225743105419715015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334048668354898660.post-16875929389564121512016-05-16T13:26:42.567+01:002016-05-16T13:26:42.567+01:00Fascinating - and that shot of the Leucozona is a ...Fascinating - and that shot of the Leucozona is a stunner.<br /><br />Cuckoo pint only on lime? I'll have to make more careful notes of where I see it (practically everywhere I thought).<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen a 10-spot ladybird - what's its habitat? I do see quite a few harlequins and they most definitely have multiple spot- and colourways. And since they've arrived I've hardly seen a 2-spot.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736035484977149890noreply@blogger.com
