Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home...

I was going to make a jokey post about my sister as critter, but unfortunately she's reading this, on and off, so. ;)

Instead, I have one more picture from my garden ready taken, and then I'm going to have to look sharp and find more things to take pictures of if I want to keep being interesting that way. I had no idea we had this, and less idea of what it was, but apparently it's for ladybirds and lacewings.


According to the leaflet my dad dug out about it, this thing provides a good place for ladybirds and lacewings to hibernate over the winter. Inside, there's a honeycomb structure made of insulating material to keep their little wings warm. :)

(I knew we were a nature friendly family, but wow.)
