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:

This is a really old piece but I uploaded it since I wanted a card of it :)

One lonely ladybird, (ladybug), found in our garden this week. Hiding back in the shadows and slowly working towards the light. For those of you who have visited my site before and seen the many thousands of these beautiful creatures that I have photographed before at my “secret location” will be dismayed to find out they are all dead. Seems Council staff couldn’t prevent them from entering a nearby radio repeater station and rather than build a barrier sprayed the lot!!!! I have voiced my complaint and hope one day they will be able to breed and again mass in their thousands. In the meantime we can only hope lone ones like this survive and remain alive in our gardens. Canon 400D Sigma macro 100 – 300, worked on in Photoshop CS3.

This work has been featured in the Redfield Plugins Group and the Colour me a Rainbow Group ….....thanks so much to the moderators….... this one was inspired by a book i have on insects i was looking at it and thought they looked drab so i want to jazz them up a bit and so being influenced by Andy Warhol and some tiles i have in the shed lol see its already so convoluted ,but anyway it all came together in my wacky brain and this is the outcome ,,,,,,,,, firstly i sketched them then added colour by following the book i used corel brushes as usual got impasto in there for depth and then put them together Warhol style , i wanted some deep texture so into photoshop and played there with layers and filters till i got something i liked….... FEATURED IN THE REDFIELD PLUGINS GROUP THANK U FEATURED IN THE COLOUR ME A RAINBOW GROUP THANK U FEATURED IN THE DIMENSIONS GROUP 8/8/09 THANK U SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK IN THE GROUP “EXTRAORDINARY FRACTALIUS GROUP 22/8/09 THANK U

Another image from my Ladybird meeting place near Mt Burr, Limestone Coast, South Australia. Many of you who have visited before would have seen a range of images from this secret little place where these ladybirds congregated in their thousands. Recently I reported they had all been killed by poison spray laid by Local Government. I have been back and they are just starting to regenerate now with only small bunches in their tens surviving but they seem to be making a slow comeback. This image, shot with a Canon 400D – sigma 100 – 300 macro, is an old image I have been wanting to post for some time. Hopefully we will see them back in their glory like this in years to come.

Yes their back! The ladybirds from Mount Burr made an emergence yesterday with thousands massing in a number of spots within the forest. This group were huddled together in their hundreds on a power pole just above ground level. As with all things in life there is always one or two who stand out in a crowd. Canon 400D 18-55 taken at night with aid of a speedlight. Processed in Photo shop CS3.

Yesterday I reported the swarming of thousands of these beautiful creatures in the Mount Burr Forest in the South East of the State. This lot were clustered around the nut on a bolt holding the side plate onto a powerpole. Interestingly I went back today and nearly all of the tens of thousands had disappeared back to wherever they came from. What a magical twenty four hours this was. Thanks to Biggzie (see his site for some great images) I can now tell you that they are the: Common Spotted Ladybird / Harmonia conformis Canon 400D 18 – 55 lens with speedlight.

Another trip out to the swarming of ladybirds that I have been reporting on at Mount Burr South Australia. This time we took them flowers!!!!!! The thousands I have posted on recently have dwindled to small groups of twenty to thirty and are slowly moving on. They climbed aboard our flowers which gave us opportunities to take some images a little different to those uploaded over the last few days. I promise the ladybirds shots will stop soon but they are just such brilliant works of nature that I can’t help keep going back whilst they are there. Canon 400D 18 – 55 lens with two stage extension tubes and speedlight.

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. Photo taken in my home, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. / / Beautiful Bugs / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

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!!!!
