Taplow
What an unbelievably fantastic day! My first hoverfly of the year landed in the garden; it's probably a Eupeodes species and seems to have no common name.
When I saw this tiny ladybird I assumed because of the colouring that it was going to be a Harlequin. As Harlequins are invasive, I don't like counting them. But it's a 14-spot Ladybird; a native species, and a new one for the garden and for me.
