Absolutely wonderful capture and colors !!!
Love ladybirds, she is beautiful.
very lovely
Beautiful shots, that lichen (?) on the branch is outstanding!
Gorgeous shots
she is an early ladybird; beautifully captured
How refreshing to see one of ours, instead of the Chinese invader Harmonia axyridis..
By the way, last year, I observed a great tit feasting on HA larvae, hope that's a habit others will form. We will then see lots more of our lady birds.
Outstanding shot - great color, composition & focus...
This is really a brilliant close up. Outstanding light and color and pin sharp.
Amazing captures both of them Andrea. God bless.
Splendid images! Great capture! :)
No suggestion of feeling under the weather with these glorious pics Andrea.
I also took some shots of a ladybug the other day :-) THis is a wonderful shot Andrea :)
I was visited by one of those Brazilian ones: they're a little bit more brown and have more than 7 spots...that and they say all sorts of insect things with a distinct, Portuguese accent. But anyway, what a shot! I love the composition and that fancy lichen. The light is superb! It's so warm and vivid, but it's friendly to the eyes. The textures are amazing and the DOF is magical. This is the kind of shot I'd expect to see in National Geographic. On another note, I've been revisiting some "Classic" science fiction..well, maybe "classic" is the wrong word. I've been revisiting the genre of cheesy pulp science fiction, and because of that, when I saw the name of this image, I thought of how wonderful a pulp sci-fi title it would make, with just one itsy-bitty modification: something like "Seven-Spot Ladybird on Xanthoria-VIII" Hmmm...now I wonder if I should attempt to write such a tale.
What a great photo of the gorgeous Ladybug, flowers and sunny day !
Glorious photograph of this pollen coated 7 spot:-)
I hope this ladybird brings me luck, love the contrasting red & yellow.
Love the color contrast.
Marvelous captures of this huge lady bug in action, love these!
Now I'm wondering how a ladybug with a Portugese accent sounds...LOL! What a brilliant shot!!!
I need to read up on these so I can tell the goodies from the baddies. Last year my native garden blackbird caught & ate one of these in flight. Never seen that before. This year the female clings to the bird-feeder. Emergent behaviour perhaps? Well, for me to witness, at any rate!!
A beautiful color combination against the lichen!
