I've been wanting to photograph a ladybug for ages, and took this photo the other day of a bug of a very similar size, but the colours on this one are stunning. Does anyone know what this is? Taken at Glen Helen in Central Australia
I'm going with alia and the Ground Shield Bug. Looks like the one she has (sorry if you're a he) a web site of. It's really a cool looking bug though and I love the pattern on it to!!! Fantastic details!! FAV
