Ladybugs

Ladybugs are a kind of beetle which is an insect. They are usually less than 1/4 in long (from 4-7 mm in length), and have oval bodies. The female ladybug is usually larger than the male. Most of them have red, orange, or yellow elytra (wing covers) and black spots. Some are black with red spots and some ladybugs have no spots at all! The number of spots helps to identify the kind of ladybug. The elytra is a hard wing cover that protects the ladybug's fragile wings. The ladybug's wings are so thin that you can see through them. The pronotum is found just behind the ladybug's head and it often has spots on it. It helps to hide and protect the head. Like all insects, the ladybug has six jointed legs. There are special organs on their feet to help them smell. The ladybug uses its antennae to touch, smell and taste.


The life cycle of the ladybug is between four to six weeks. In the spring the adults lay up to three hundred eggs in an aphid colony. The eggs hatch in two to five days. The newly hatched larvae feed on aphids for up to three weeks, and then they enter the pupa stage. The adult ladybug emerges about a week later. However, they usually do not have their spots for their first 24 hours of adulthood. So, if you catch one in your schoolyard without spots, you may have found a brand new adult. There may be as many as six generations of ladybugs hatched in a year.

Nice picture. But I wish the photograph could have been closer to the beetles. Too much green background.

Very nice macro Thiago.
This looks much better.
Very good compostion, colours and details.
Well done.

Great shot, good POV and colours.
Well done.
TFS.

Good capture of special "moment". DOF and sharpness are very well done. I would prefer a different crop (2/3 upper or bottom right ) for this one.

Thiago, há um tempão tenho procurado joaninhas para fotografar, e não consigo achar. Você conseguir achar duas de uma vez.

Gosto da foto, e gostei também do WS do José Reynaldo.

Cores vívidas, o contraste entre o verde e o vermelho ficou legal.

Show de bola.

Wonderful nature photo. Now I know how ladybugs do it. I like the green background also.
