A seven-spotted ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata)
has just landed on a lavender flower. It’s interesting how its wings are much larger than its elytra, so it has to fold them carefully.

ist gerade auf einer Lavendelblüte gelandet. Es ist interessant, dass seine Flügel viel größer sind als seine Flügeldecken und er sie sorgfältig zusammenfalten muss.

I tried my clip-on lens kit for the first time today. Imagine my glee and "d'oh" at finding that I wasn't holding my phone close *enough*. These are my attempts with plants and yarn and geodes and a bit of pottery.

Things I've already learned:
- My hand has a mind of its own 😮
- Dust is not my friend 😋
