Last week I mentioned that I had some ladybird news, so here it is! The tree I planted last year is doing amazingly and to my utter delight, I discovered that the ladybirds are also really into it. Like... REALLY into it.
(there's ladybirds having sex all over this tree, is what I'm saying)
I didn't take a picture of the mating ladybirds for their own privacy but here is a single ladybird just hanging out on the fronds, hopefully thinking of laying eggs. I am going to be so happy if we get dozens of baby ladybirds in a month or so 🥰
