Ladybird Cluster
The ladybirds have returned in significant numbers at Mt Burr again.
This is a small cluster on dead and dried ferns. (if you look closely you will see them underneath as well)
Always a pleasure to watch these little beauties crawling around in their thousands.
Canon 400D, 18 – 55 with two stage macro extension tubes and speedlight.
I am often asked, “just how thick are these?”
Well the photo below is just an example of how thick they settle when they arrive!!!!
