That’s a very cool image. I like the use of depth of field – it somehow conveys the sense that there are so many ladybugs that they’re fading off into the distance.

So amazing! ........i have a sad story about these beetles and my mother in law poisoning thousands of them because she felt they were a “nuisance” all over the side of her house during breeding season…. i was very upset with her needless to say and had I lived nearby I would have scooped them all up and saved them…
