"Ladybug ladybug fly away home,
Your house in on fire and your children are gone,
All except one and that's little Ann,
For she crept on top of a beautiful Dahlia
and is having a chillout party with a small Catepillar"

20D and Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro
1/160s @ f.6.3
handheld with large white diffuser balanced on my head with one hand to block the direct sunlight.

though aI'm not a big fan of bugs on flower shots, this one works for me.

I am wondering where his other leg is? Must be underneath. I really like the blur of the dahlia highlighting the ladybug.

good shot! colorful playground for the ladybug, which is so sharp.
