Description
It was a warm and only moderately eventful day today. I'd decided to wander around, looking for interesting and cooperative insects to photograph. Such an act has proven virtually impossible to pull off; Chicago isn't exactly an insect-friendly place in far too many respects. Anything with six legs is simply called a bug, and well...all of the six legged people who were out were...well...typically busy: ants, not surprising. I'd opened negotiations with a bunch of ants belonging to a particularly uncooperative colony and well...none of their photos came out. Luckily, I found a ladybug in the midst of a nap...or a somewhat interesting meal. Who knows? At any rate, here it is.
Hopefully everyone is having a great week and thank you for viewing, reading, and commenting.

Excellent detail on this little lady; napping in the sun, perhaps? It looks a lovely spot for a snug snooze. Great work, Chip!
And isn't she lovely!!! And you, here in the States, that is lovely too. At least I hope that it is. Great photo Chipka.
Wonderful. What a lovely litle lady!Great find and very well captured.The colours are awesome and your point of view is fabulous.
Great light! It must have been posing for you. :)
Well, Chip you certainly do have a way with bugs! It's like a natural kinship--or a perpetual love at first sight thing, since they always seem to pose for you. Very nice shot, I like the coloring, and the ladybug really does look very comfortable. It makes me want to doze off in the sun and enjoy a nice nap.
I know just how she feels, give me a ray of sun and I'm there!!
Fantastic macro.
Fantastic macro shot.
cute little bug to bad your not hear bugs we have. Great work.
I'm sure being a lady bug with those tiny wings and that big body must be quite tiring. So glad she found a safe spot for a little nap. And that you found her to share with us. CC
Your words reminded me of one of my favourite films....'Joe's Apartment'! If you haven't seen it I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Cosy pic!
I love these little gals...and so does our kitten! good stuff, Chip!
Excellent way to capture this little earthling, big and minuscule at the same time.
You have some beautiful photos...very original!
It's a wonder you 'spotted' that critter :) Great shot!
Excellent macro capture, lighting and image !!! 5* Hugs Karin :)
Cute!
