I decided to publish a series on the ladybird, on one hand because it is an insect that very appreciated by all, but especially that I have the luck to accommodate and to observe in my lawn, an incredible quantity of specimens.

Special dedication to Peter: "Batu" who in a subject on the subject.

I hope that you will appreciate

I continue to perform the play of five acts, one act per day, every day.


Part I : Eggs, after three or five days of incubation, become then larvas. These last ones can reach(affect) one centimeter, while the adult does not exceed 5 in 8 millimeters long. Larvas are going to stuff themselves with aphids during three weeks, then having moulted four times, they are going to hang on (to collide) to a plant and to become chrysalis

Hello Gaetan,
A good point of view and fine details are captured!
Excellent sharpness and good clarity in colours, basically well composed even if the straw in front is a bit disturbing...

Bonjour Gaetan,
C'est une excellente idée que tu as. Les coccinelles sont en effet fascinantes. Ta série débute très bien avec cette larve assez étonnante. Mais quelle espèce de coccinelle va en sortir finalement?
Bonne journée

Hi Gaetan.
I am very pleased to see your fine series. It is very interesting and nice.
This shot is excellent. It is composed very well. Colour palette is rich and pleasant. DOF is shallow a bit In comparison with the sizes of a caterpillar. In comparison with the sizes of a caterpillar. A sole way it is increasing a subject distance and then to apply the crop. Note is very good too. My best wishes and TFS. See you soon.
