Bug Wars

Took this a few days ago for the monthly theme. This Ladybird and shield bug appeared to have a standoff for a few seconds before the ladybird eventually scurried off leaving the Shield but to claim the higher ground.

I never understood why American's call it a ladybug but everyone else calls it a ladybird. It's a bug, not a bird! Hahaha
