Calvia quattuordecimguttata - 14 Spot Ladybird

AMENDMENT - I have received an e-mail from Fred Elliston who has advised me that the orange/red bugs are in fact Soldier Beetles. Thank you Fred.

I took this at Par this evening... there were lots of these orange/red bugs, all doing the same thing! They do appear to be mating in their own special way, but as bugs are complicated creatures I suppose its best not to assume! I'm also having trouble ID'ing them in the short space of time that I have.



This Stick Insect (if that's what it is) was on the bath last night. Very green and rocking from side to side... !

I'm not good with Wild Flowers, but I think these are Evening Primrose, Thistle & Rose Campion
