Phone pic. Description by Gemini 2.5 Flash: A macro photograph captures a red ladybug with black spots clinging to a dried, brown seed head of a dandelion. The ladybug is positioned on the right side of the seed head, with its head facing downwards. Its black head and antennae are visible, as are its six legs gripping the fuzzy remains of the dandelion. In the blurry background, a yellow dandelion flower is visible below the ladybug, with a small bee or hoverfly also out of focus on its petals. The lighting is bright and the background is a mix of muted green and brown.

Phone pic, front garden 2 roads over. Description by Gemini 2.5 Flash: A close-up, top-down view of a single pink mallow flower with a small insect in its center. The flower has five prominent petals with a distinctive pattern of darker pink veins radiating outwards from the center. The center of the flower is a star-shaped stigma with a fuzzy, light pink texture. A small, dark-bodied insect, possibly a type of fly, is resting on the fuzzy central part of the flower, positioned with its head towards the bottom of the frame. The green leaves and a blurred stem are visible in the background.

Phone pic from a nearby front garden. Description by Gemini 2.5 Flash: A close-up photograph shows a hoverfly resting on a spike of purple flowers, likely a type of Veronica or speedwell. The hoverfly is in the center of the frame, with its striped yellow and black body clearly visible. It is positioned horizontally across the stem, with its head near the blossoms and its transparent wings folded back. The flowers are arranged in long, vertical spikes, with many individual purple florets and dried, brown remnants from older flowers. The background is a soft, out-of-focus green.
