The theme today was Put It On A Plate and this photo fits it perfectly. I was at a friends house chilling in their garden when I noticed some sort of ladybird crawling up my leg. Excellent, I thought, I'll play with him for a while. You can only imagine my excitement when, a few seconds later, I spotted an aphid on my foot. What eats aphids? Ladybirds!! This would be the easiest meal of the little critter's life. Little did I know, as I benevolently brought the two together on my foot, that this ladybird was full/vegetarian/bloody useless. At one point I even managed to place the beetle on top of the aphid. Did he set about mercilessly devouring his supper, though? No; did he Hell. I don't know why I bother.
