How strange insects don’t get stung by the stinging nettles?

Day 101 - As we walked back from the park with the Grandchildren I noticed the stinging nettles were covered in ladybirds, the girls wanted to hold one so I tried to pick one up and ended up stinging my fingers, so I took a picture for them to look at instead!

Fabulous image, what a great idea

Great close up. Maybe insects don’t rub the furry bits on the back of the leaves the wrong way like humans do.

That’s very interesting why they don’t! I’m certainly not going to be the to investigate. Super photo!,
