Hello Peter!
This is a fantastic macro! Details are great and clouse-up really good. Now I also can see how juvenile stage of this alien ladybug species looks like, thank you for that!
Best greetings,
Radomir

Hi Peter.

You do excellent work with the Olympus Peter..
And handheld! :)
Very nice,

Hola Peter, por experiencia se que no es fácil captar las texturas y colores del algunas larvas de Coccinélidos ya que tienen un tipo de tonalidades que parecen irreales y dan la impresión de desenfoque. Creo que has hecho un buen trabajo al conseguir superar esos problemas y además con tanta ampliación.
Un abrazo y buen Domingo: Josep Ignasi.

Hello eter,
Superb view of this Asian Ladybird larva showing very sharp details and good colours. A fine composition too! There are many new species coming into Sweden now with the enormous amount of containers being shipped here from all over the world! And our climate is changing, 7 weeks of drought down here in Scania! Perhaps we'll have rain all summer instead!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

This is something new for me, Peter.
An amazing macro of the Ladybird Larva which shows the features and colours of this creature very clearly.
The subject between the green BG and a well textured leaf looks beautiful.
TFS and regards.

Hola Peter!
Me ha parecido muy interesante esta presentación, porque yo tengo algunas fotos también de un tipo de larva de unas Coccinellidae algo distintas de esta tuya.
Buena presentación
