I would like to thank Kitsmumma for letting me use ( November Rain )(http://www.redbubble.com/people/kitsmumma ) Thanks so much for that Kitsmumma.
I know there’s beautiful ladybird images on RB but this is the first one I’ve ever taken so I though I would share anyway, this one was sitting on a fushia flower… This image has also been purchased as a matted print, thank you once again to the buyer :o)
I’m lucky enough to have a place I visit where these beautiful creatures seem to congregate and or breed. I love visiting and watching them in their thousands as they sneak in and out of small gaps and caverns. An amazing act of nature. Mt Burr – Limestone Coast South Australia. Canon 400D Sigma 70-300 macro lens.
Ladybirds, ladybugs or ladybeetles? / Depends where you are from I guess… Thanks again to Stephen Chapple for his help with my recent images. Check out his work too:
One of my favorite shots. It comes with a funny story – it was photographed in a front garden of a house not far from my home. The lady living in the ground floor encouraged me in taking few shots there, and as I did so, I got chased out five minutes later by the man on the first floor. Luckily, I´ve managed to take few great shots by that time, including this one.

A lot of ‘ladies’ came out of hiding this weekend with the beautiful, warm temperatures we had. I searched high & low almost all summer looking for ladybirds and found just a few. This weekend made up for it, however, as they were EVERYWHERE! / / Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

A cute little Lady Bug I found neatly wrapped in amongst a bunch of celery :-) / Wasn’t sure if this was really good enough to post… Canon 400D / Canon 100mm macro lens
Featured in Ladybugs May 23, 2009 and in Urban Wildlife July 11, 2009 Featured on RB’s Homepage August 15, 2009 / All summer I searched for ladybugs in our gardens. I did find a few but not near AS MANY as in my own home over the winter months. I lost count of how many I gathered up from nooks and crannies and placed in a little aquarium in one contained apartment. I do NOT like to kill bugs and putting them outside in the snow was not an option. My next dilemma…what to feed them? Apparently they like Cheerios! For those just itching to know, they also like raisins and sliced green grapes :) Little droplets of water each day and they made out just fine. Now that Spring has arrived the surviving ladies have all been put back outside :) Canon Rebel EOS XTi with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. Manual Mode, SS 1/80, f/5.6, ISO 200.

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!!!!
Ladybirds again from the Mt Burr area. More flowers taken out to them recently and they blend so well with the colours. Shot taken within the Mt Burr Forest, South East South Australia. Canon 400D 18-55 lens with three stage extension tubes.
