Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
Two Spotted Ladybug, Adalia bipunctata.
Wait, there are four spots, or two tiny dots and some squarish sides? This is one of the melanistic forms of the species. First one I’ve seen this year, on a tree in between Third and Forth Avenues.
Others seen since. It’s definitely insect season.
I scroll through lots of email every day and yours always makes me light up! I look forward to Your posts! Thank you!
Thanks! It’s delightful to hear you say so.
