    Last few days I have been constantly rescueing ladybirds from the pond.

    Couldn't understand what the problem was?
    Today I found the answer, whilst the ladybirds were sunbathing and climbing up the rocks over the pond, this is what they were upto!

    Guess they had something else on their mind?

    Don't know how long they had been there, but about 10 minutes later they were still at it!
    Then after another 10 minutes they were just sunbathing - err...cigarette afterwards! :D :D

    Well, hopefully there will be plenty of them to deal with those aphids! ;) Spring is really here now!

    Oh that is so naughty - I need to close my eyes!

    Isn't it funny how this group so often reverts to the birds and the bees????

    Sorry roders, I forgot about that, what camera have you got that you can get that close?

    Mind you, I would probably have fallen in the pond if I had! ;)

    Thanks roders, still it's very good at close up work, I was about 4 inches away, you must have been about half inch away....didn't they mind?

    I agree Dave W, I really don't know what Waco is thinking about? ;)
