There has been the most strangest occurrence this weekend at all 3 different beach sites I go to - the railings on the lookouts, bridge and breakwater are crawling with lady birds :) I can't explain it - are they migratory? Anyhow, I had to keep changing lenses to capture things I wanted and this is what happened when I placed my big lens on the railing at the lookout!!
Amazing , they are thoroughly examining your lens for sure !! We also had a plague (is that the right word to use !! ) of ladybirds here in the UK quite some years ago --it only happened one season - but it was a sight ! and I was quite happy to think that they were devouring any aphids in the garden !!
Great shot. We had a similar event a couple of years ago. There were hundreds of ladybirds in my garden. It only lasted about a week and then they either died or disappeared.
Oh dear! But it does make for a great scene. We had these invade our house on Beaver Island one year. I was vacuuming up hundreds it felt like all summer long (they had come in during the fall, I suspect and then perished over the winter.
Hi, Denise....I don't know why I wasn't following you since I see most of your photos, but here we go....this is an absolute FAV!! Wild how they congregated on your lens....sometimes I see them on a leaf or a branch, but they are gone by the time I take out my camera! Great shot!
