Lady Bird by mzzhope

Lady Bird

Tried all summer to capture a Lady Bird Beetle ( Ladybug) with her wings open Who would guess I could photograph it in January? But these insects hibernate in large groups during the cold winter months. We always have a group hibernating between the logs of the cabin. Since the weather warmed up today..some of them woke up and came inside for a photo shoot.:)
Great stop action! I seldom see images of them with their shell spread and wings out. Pretty wings!

难得的扑捉。你是一个很细心的人,总能扑捉到美的瞬间。A rare catch. You are a very careful person, can always catch the moment of beauty.

Hello Hope! I've been paired with you this week for the Get Pushed challenge. I'm still kinda new here, but I can see you've been at it for a while and have some amazing photos! My challenge to you is "Trash to Treasure". Take something that most folks would just throw away, and photograph it in way that makes it intriguing.
