Lady Bird

Fine macro, Keith !

Thank you Ulrich :-)

Great macro! - However, I prefer the native seven-point ladybird.

Thank you Frank. Unfortunately, these are the only ones I've seen so far this year.

Another superb macro Keith!
I haven't seen any yet! Very interesting to see them so close up.
Hope you have had a good Easter Monday. Take care & carry on!

Thanks Rosa...............I've seen a couple so far, but this is the first one I was able to get close enough to for a decent shot. Glad you like it.

I've had a lovely day so far, a bit of gardening and a family video chat on Whatsapp. We have a roast for dinner, then a movie I think. I hope you've had an enjoyable day too.

Hoe weet je dat dit een Lady is ,Keith,,heb je onder het schild gekeken ?!

Fred, you made me laugh...........I wouldn't dare to look under a lady's shield :-))

Großartiges Makro, Keith! Sehr schöne Details!

Thanks Wilhelm.

Woa, Keith, fantastic shot! Miss Lady Bug looks wonderful on the fuzzy, grey lamb's ears. (At least I think that's what the plant is.)

Thanks Diane.............glad you like it. Yes, the plant is Lamb's ears. Well spotted.

Beautiful: your garden looks liek a zoo !!

Thanks Jaap. Not exactly a zoo yet.............but we're working on it..!!

Another excellent Macro bravo Keith

Thank you my friend................good of you to drop in.

Magnifique cette lady

Thanks very much Jean Paul.

Oh this is the Asian Ladybug ...

Ladybugs can look different. As pretty and cute as they are, they know how to defend themselves - with a foul-smelling poison secretion. An effective protection against attackers.
The brighter, the worse the taste: the color of the ladybird's wing leaves reveals its toxicity.
