Hi Nick,

A nice shot of this little Ladybug. The red/orange and black look wonderful against the green leaf. Nice details and a lovely vertical composition.

Hi Nick

Lovely macro shot of the Ladybird.
Very nice composition with a good POV and a great pose.
Beautiful colours, I like the green leaf against the green BG, with the contrasting red and black of the ladybird.

I once order a bunch of ladybugs from some company...and they arrive all quite alive and well...via postal as I recollect...Now as to what they ate or did for my garden I have since forgotten, but I found the advert in a Mother Earth News...very old copy before John and wife sold it....Certainly a contrast in colours from green to red....I wasn't aware of the sub species with names, but everything has names I reckon..Fine show Sir Nick!

Hello Nicholas,

Lovely composition. Good POV, DOF and sharpness. I do not see that many 7-spot ladybirds anymore, but a lot of asian ladybirds. Superb light and colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

hello Nick,

It just shows that the temperature is rising when these bright little creatures appear!

Wonderful details of the bright wing case and the black appendages.
Like you, I think the gradually fading green is very attractive.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Nicholas, I sometimes wonder they are so small but they are beautiful. They attract like anything and we still landup in shooting them. I can see the reflection of the light on the body. Lovely sharp and superb crisp shot. Ganesh

Hi Nicholas,

I count 4 spots (-: How is it possible that the complete light derision can come on here back, without using the flash? The contrast between the colors is wonderful. For a better composition (my opninion) I would crop a bit of the lower part of the photograph. Anyway a beautiful shot of this ladybird. Thanks for sharing. Greetings and TFS BOB
