I Noticed A Lot Of Lady Bug/Beetles & Some Large Ants Crawling On Them.
Hello Andrea, I wanted to let you know that I have removed this from the Lost Ladybug Project mission. I know that there are some beetles in your picture and you observed them but the focus of your spotting is of this wonderful fungus. If you would submit another spotting with the beetles as the focus and you are sure they are ladybugs (or Ladybird Beetles), that would be fine to submit to that mission.
I would recommend that you remove this from the Leaves of the North East mission as well and submit a separate spotting (cropped for focus) for each different species of plant (I see at least two in your pictures). It makes it less confusing for other users and makes it easier for categorizing organisms!
