brown bu on tree branch

Spring isn’t all that far off. I took this photo back in April. It was one of the warmest days of the year so far and the sun was shining brightly. I found this little critter whilst exploring a patch of woodland outside of town. I assume that it is some kind of ladybird, but I’ve never seen one in orange before. One of the great things about Sweden is the ‘allemansrätt’ which basically means that nowhere in the country is off-limits (besides military areas and a few other exceptions). You can walk through privately owned forests and farmland, as long as you are respectful towards the land.
