Coccinelle (ladybird) – such a useful insect. I believe they eat aphids.

Aren’t they adorable? 🙂 Superb shot, Debs! Not gardening weather here. Housework? 😦 😦

Indeed. I do hate housework though!
But I had a gorgeous sunny day in Cambridge (home of this ladybird) with friends this week, so can’t complain (well, not too much!)
