Exploration

A Daisy fleabane stem is explored by a Ladybug. Well it's not really a daisy, it is in the Aster family and now Erigeron annuus. The Ladybug is one of 6,000 small beetle species distributed world wide. The "lady" refers to mother Mary. Entomologists use the names ladybird (UK) beetles or lady beetles to avoid confusion with true bugs.
