Shield bugs. Another two hours later........More of them and they have all earned their freedom to roam in our pieris plants!
I took another short break from painting the pagoda roof to find huge activity in the macro view. Clearly the insects were all going to be very much on the move very soon!
Although we had no idea whether they were friend or foe to our plants we knew we had to quickly release them to roam and continue their life cycle in our pieris plants.
Over several day they had given us marvellous view into a miniature world that we had not previously visited We were very grateful to them and they had earned a tremendous admiration and respect for their little world! In the middle of our busy preparations for our garden open days the macro experience had been quite awe inspiring, exciting and somewhat time consuming and exhausting......considering their little size!
