Fortunately, the 36-year-old managed to bat off his son’s questions and claim the insects were just giving one another a ‘piggyback’.
“He always has a lot of questions as he’s quite inquisitive so this was a usual garden conversation for us,” Matt, from Herefordshire, told What’s The Jam.
“He was very excited to find the ladybirds and called me over to see.
“He was even more excited to see two of them as it was one of the first we had seen this year.
“I think that them having a piggyback was the perfect way to describe this scene for him at this age and just the type of response he would have been looking for.”

He said: “It was very usual for us to be having conversations like this in the garden, however this one was particularly funny.
“I was also surprised at the scene as it is something which I have not consciously noticed before.
“The conversation is something I’ll remember forever and shows his enthusiasm for nature and the great outdoors.
“I shared it because we regularly share updates of what we get up to in the garden with the hope to encourage others to spend time outdoors and to enjoy plants and nature.”
The clip quickly went viral online racking up over 920,000 views and more than 36,500 likes.
