I took the following photo today on the very top of Mt. Ainslie.

A ladybird riot! A single photo does not do justice to the huge numbers that were clustered around the pole and flying around. I had to brush literally dozens off myself and camera when I retreated down the stairs after taking the shot.
Does anyone know why they’d congregate at the very top of the mountain? Nothing to eat there…
