This is an image found in the UK new's today

At first glance it looks like sickly sweet confectionery - a sugary morsel dreamed up to tempt those with a sweet tooth. 

But on closer inspection, it is actually a poor ladybird resting on a flower, both welcoming the sun after enduring a chilly pre-dawn and covered in droplets of morning dew. 

The amazing image was captured by German photographer Jens Kolk, who used a macro lens to get up close and personal to the action.

He said the picture was the result of venturing out to his garden one morning in Potsdam, Germany.

 

Equal right's for photographer's because i will be one - one day...................
