Manage to catch the moment when this ladybird opened its shell and spread its wings. A bit disappointed that it's not sharper but you can't have everything! Something to work on.

Really quite amazing ... great capture to see its wings unfold.

Oh wow! I never seen one with spread-out wings before! Great shot!

Just like on of those cars that have doors like this......can't remember the make, very futuristic!

Great capture.

Super photo! It is so seldom that we see a beetle's wings, and this one is a great picture showing how the elytra shift to let the wings unfold.
