Ladybug - On the Move!


While walking in the woods today, I came across this ladybug, strolling across a leaf. It was early evening and the light was fading fast.
I snapped her picture ... FLASH!
She fell over backward off the leaf.

That's the same reaction I have when someone takes MY picture ...

  7. Lovely macro of the little ladybug and so are the photos from your previous post.
    This falling down and playing dead is their natural auto-protective behavior, they trick their enemies.
