Delicate. Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata, 22-Spot Ladybird, on Wild Chervil, Anthriscus sylvestris, Driemond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The delicate flowers and foliage of Wild Chervil delight the heart even in a Cold Spring. 'Chervil' is said to go back on two Greek words signifying something like 'foliage delight'. Indeed, the fine-structured leaves and umbelliferous collections of tiny flowers are quite beautiful close-by and splendid fields make Spring bright and happy.

Small and delicate 22-Spot Ladybird likes to forage for Mildew on this and other umbrella flowers.
