Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
(Frank Zappa from the album Joe's Garage, Track: Packard Goose)
I don't tend to kill much in the garden, apart from occasionally forgetting to water some of the planters. I also don't use pesticides or other pest control unless absolutely necessary. As a consequence, many odd things appear, most recently a beetle with an orange rectangle on its back, an orange Ladybird and an inverted Ladybird (yes, I know Ladybirds are beetles - so should have entitled this blog entry as Beetles rocking in my garden...)
Some pics;
Larvae
Alright - both William Tasso and Dick Moore have both correctly identified the first pics as Ladybird Larvae - so I have learned something new today!
