Ladybird 1 – Ants 3
June 14th, 2010
I saw this 7 spot ladybird making it’s slow way along a plant stem. Minding it’s own business.
As it made his way down the stalk it didn’t know it was being watched – and not only by me:
The Ladybird was quickly surrounded by three ants:
Who harrassed it:
The ants kept this up for quite a while and all the ladybird could do was put up with it.
I eventually felt sorry for it and allowed it to escape by brushing it off the stalk.
All heart you see, that’s me!
Mind you, I could have done it much earlier but I wouldn’t have got these photographs if I had – would I!
