BabyBug
…….my impressive entomologist colleague has advised me that “Baby Bee” is in fact a Ladybird !! What was I thinking ?? Very Embarassing, but Hugely Funny 🙂
(The clue was in the red/black spots, as opposed to yellow/black stripes – just slightly obvious)
Now renamed BabyBug ………….

Thanks to The Fat Cat pub & brewery for creating the Skinny Catte special beer in honour of the painting, and a Huge Thankyou to the Red Cross, it was a truly impressive event and a privilege to be involved 🙂
