Thanks so much Claire, a 'loveliness' of ladybirds, the most perfect official word for a gathering of these little beauties!!!

Thank you, so sorry!! Will add alt text on my posts from here on

I love them too, I get 'lost' when I explore and find them, the sporangiums are almost like birds, or horse heads

Thanks so much !!

That's exactly what it felt like, was surreal in that almost dusk light in there

My thoughts exactly ❤️

I'm not sure if it has an enemy. I wasn't sure what it was when I found it and had it identified, and explained to me. I found it fascinating too!! There are many fungi that damage trees, but also many that benefit. I have a lot to learn!!

Oh Jane how amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you as always Claire ❤️

Thanks so much ❤️
