    Oh wow, that last one of the ladybug is great.

    Do you know why the car in particular? Do you coat it in honey fortnightly? :D

    Thanks Piggsy :)

    Re why the car. Two reasons I think - in spring and Autumn it's shaded by being between two houses so it stays cool. Insects seem to land on it and get stuck as it effectively chills them. Second reason is I regularly go past it on my garden safaris and it's very easy to spot bugs on it.
