Bugs, spiders & some acrobatical exhibitionism by a couple of ladybirds...

Whilst taking some shots of the young olive flowers, I grabbed the opportunity of portraying some of the animal population of the growth. Observing them, Aesop's and LaFontaine's stories were the first associations that came to my mind - it's so easy to see some human characteristics if you look close enough:

The good samaritan - someone should tell him that the olive flower does not need insects for the purpose of impollination...

They might not join the mile high club, but the effort is worth a plause

As the above couple, these two like to be on the verge

The thief - hiding in the shade during the day, eating the young olive leaves during the night

What looks to be the king of the hill - I noticed that on 99% of the young trees (the older are much more diffcult to check) there's a spider sitting on the top branch. Kind of bossy, but if I'd be of the same size, I would not like to enter into a discussion...
