Where Did My Spots Go?

Found a ladybug with no spots and started reading about them - they can have from 0-30 spots! This one is a Polished Lady Beetle - neat the things you learn!

Excellent close up and you are right! The spots are missing! Nice capture and POV!

Still a pretty lady...but I love the spots. Nice shiny texture too! Great lighting on the plant also.

Wow how interesting! Never knew that. I think you'd feel a little let down without any spots haha. Great picture though
