@photographycrazy cheers bill, there are a few blown out bits on the bodies, bit that is difficult not to capture because they are quite glossy

[elkehochban]

Fab capture!

[Maggiemae]

If the spotted one is Mrs Ladybird then the unspotted must be an alien man bird!

Great close-up. You definitely have entered their private life here.

[Pat Knowles]

Well I would like to see the offspring of these two...might be interesting colour, you will have to keep your eyes peeled in ...how long do baby ladybirds take? Very sharp catch Phil!

[Judith Johnson]

Terrific shot Phil. They don't look like they're the same variety - is this allowed? Fav!

[Ivan]

Fun close-up, Phil. Fav.

[Al Bailey]

Love is in the air? THe colors and detail are great. Wonderful lighting. The green background and textures on the leaf are so interesting.

[The Intermittent Photographer aka Blue Rose]

Great detail but slightly risky!!

[Hazel]

Wonder why one has hardly any spots?! Well spotted and captured.
