I’m lucky enough to have a small secret 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. Canon 400D Sigma 70-300 macro lens.

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.
This image was captured in the highlands of Tasmania, using a Canon DSLR and a 100mm Canon macro lens and always a tripod.. / This image has been featured on / red bubble home page Two home page features in one week….so excited. thank you all… White Valley has been featured in the folowing groups / The Woman Photographer Feb 2009 / 1 ARTISTS OF REDBUBBLE Feb 2009 / Butterflies, Skippers, Feb 2009 / Ladybugs Feb 2009 / See my other pic featured on home page this week March 2009 /

A long journey for miss ladybird ..
Photo taken the other day. / It was kind of funny….I always know where to find these insects and i took 3 home with me in a little jar. (they will be put in nature again) / When i wanted to take photo’s and opened the jar, 2 of them were making love. / I then put them on this flower and they kept walking and didnt let go of each other.
