pretty much all you need to know of this is right there in the title, i suppose. but then again this is an incident which allowed me to dabble with that new psychedelic effect on my camera phone thing, look you see. who knows, if you have a look maybe you will like it. or not.
so, i was sat one afternoon, doing something close to nothing. actually can't recall. likely just typing up a post for here, or maybe watching a video (disc) or what have you. to my surprise i heard the unmistakable flutter of an at the time undefined insect wings near my left ear. glancing down saw me see that a ladybird had taken up residence on the lower aspect of my left shoulder. or thereabouts, you know, for it is not so that biology is a strength of mine.
that is what i believe to be the ladybird in question, although obviously (and clearly) not on my shoulder. where it is, if it is the same one, i shall get to later. you too, if you read on. and yes the above image is very much taken with that psychedelic thing i now have installed. quite class, i hope you agree, or maybe it is just me.
having no wish to harm the ladybird (this is getting back to the story) i got up steadily and slowing, stepping outside to sort of "shake it off" and let it make its merry way in the world. as far as i could tell, or ascertain, i had indeed shaken it off. then, when i went inside my place of exile, what should i see on the wall but a ladybird.
either this is a different (or if you will, second) ladybird, or the original lone intruder had simply hopped on to another part of me, hopping off when back inside. don't see how the latter could have happened, as i saw it the moment i walked in. so perhaps it never actually left, and hopped off as i was heading out. giving which happened any further thought or consideration is likely to hurt my brain, so if you don't mind i shall leave you to speculate over it, if not wrestle with it.
do people still call them ladybirds? i have the most peculiar feeling that i have written of this before, but i suspect some call them "ladybugs". by virtue of the fact that they would appear to reproduce, since i don't think we are surrounded by immortals, i presume there is such a thing as a ladybug boy. yes, i came rather close to writing "ladyboybird" there, which has a different meaning. well, ladybird is what i was always led to believe as being the name, so shall stick with it.
what was the eventual fate of the ladybird or, i concede possibly, ladybirds? no clue. after taking these pictures i elected to let it get on with whatever it wished to. perhaps it is still lurking around my lodgings in my place of exile, or maybe it has since flown off. good luck to it, whichever.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
