Ladybird, Ladybird


I took this photo of a shy ladybird while out walking, posting it on Facebook it received the comment "avoiding paparazzi!" and that was the start of this story...


Avoiding paparazzi was difficult for Lady who was commonly spotted in her distinctive shiny red carapace. Since the incident she’d become popular for all the wrong reasons, the story sung in rhyme over and over. Her parenting skills were questioned. How did the house fire start? Where did her children go? What of poor little Ann trapped under the frying pan? Ms Bird dodged the lens documenting “wildlife”, opened her wings and flew away home.
