The image has a dark green smooth background. From the bottom left corner a thistle leaf curves around two thirds of the way across the image. Perched on the end of the thistle leaf looking down in a ladybird which is peering over the side of the leaf into the depths. The thistle leaf is a dark green covered in fine white spiders web. The edge of each leaf is a thick acid line green band which has spikes sticking out. Each spike has the same colour base as the band, but rapidly turns to an orange colour. The spikes are roughly the length of the ladybird, and roughly that distance apart. The leaf is a V section, and we are looking at it almost perfectly side on so the far edge is mostly hidden, but the spikes stick up creating a very sharp looking image. The ladybird has 3 spots visible, but there are hints of tiny black spots in the wing cases. The main colour of the wing cases is international rescue orange, very bright, with glossy highlights from above. Beneath the ladybird the underside and legs are black, as is the face. There are a pair of symmmetrical white spots on the top of the head, and a larger white spot on the top of the thorax behind the head, but well clear of the wing cases. The front right leg is hooked over the side of the leaf, as though holding on to the edge as the ladybird looks over, from the base of the spine on the end of the leaf.
No Way Down
Description
Turning around doesn't look a safe option here. Fortunately ladybirds can fly. Not that they always seem to remember that, or maybe they just like a good look before they...
