Salut Dietrich,
je savais que les coccinelle mangaient les pucerons, mais je ne les avais jamais vu en action. C'est chose faite grâce à ta splendide photo.
Elle est vraiment bien réussie: focus excellent et belle profondeur de champ.
Amitiés
Fred

Hello Dietrich,
A superb macro!
The lighting, POV, DOF and sharpness are first class in this action shot of an A. bipunctata feeding on an aphid nymph. The composition with the other aphids is great too.
Nice to view and thanks for delighting us with this excellent image.
Have a good weekend,
Ivan

Hola Dietrich, nos presentas una excelente ampliación de gran calidad técnica y unos detalles realmente sorprendentes. No solamente plasmaste bien la complicada textura de la "mariquita" sino que además captaste el áfido perfectamente. Un trabajo excelente.
Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Hello Dietrich,
A most impressive macro of this Ladybird enjoying a delicious Aphid meal. I wish we had a few more Ladybirds around here in the summer! This is the best Ladybird capture I've seen here! Details are very sharp and colours natural. It is very well-timed and the composition is excellent too.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Lieber Dieter,
Da ist Dir ein sehr interessantes und einmaliges Bild gelungen. So etwas habe ich noch nie gesehen. Zweipunkt-Marienkäfer und Blattlaus sind beide perfekt fokussiert und die Farben scheinen natürlich.
Das Bild wird Dir wohl Glück bringen!
Ein schönes Wochenende und liebe Grüsse
Anne

Hello Dietrich,

An excellent macro of the Lady Bug and its prey. Fine detail and sharpness, you've lined everything up just right.

We have the accursed Asian Lady Bugs here too, they're quite annoying at times, as they sometimes occur in swarms and they pinch and bite, doesn't quite hurt, but if you get them down your shirt,it can be quite uncomfortable, plus they give off an odor that is disagreeable.

Thanks,
John

Hallo Dieter!

Mmmmmh, da läuft sogar mir das Wasser im Mund zusammen! Die feinen und zarten grünen Dingerchen müssen ja gut schmecken!

:-)

Herrliche Aufnahme, dramatisch und in der bald legendären Bildqualität! Mir gefallen hier vor allem auch die Farben, auch wenn sie im Licht des Blitzlichts ein bisschen grell sind.

As liebs Grüessli

Markus
