I googled to find out what the collective noun is for ladybirds and read that it’s ‘loveliness’, which seems perfectly appropriate. On Easter Saturday, I went for a short mooch around a local park, hoping that the occasional sunny spells might produce butterflies. Unfortunately, the sun was far too occasional and a cool wind blew, but I did find a loveliness of little ladybirds: two 10-spots (Adalia decempunctata)

a 14-spot (Propylea quattuordecimpunctata)

and a Kidney-spot (Chilocorus renipustulatus).
