Description

Nikon 7900 image. Another Ladybug image for you. This one had apparantely decided to investigate the stem of a ground bramble. It presented a rather fuuny appearance as it tried to negotiate the hairy bristles. Instead of the typical low-to-the-ground body placement and bent leg scurring one normally sees, this little Lady had to stand on tip toes to make any progress. Each step was slow and deliberate. Gave me time to get several shots, lol. Thanks to those who take the time to comment. Lee

Excellent capture! Insects are so intelligent I couldn't imagine just fumigating or squishing them as I go along the way.

Talk about determination - did she ever get where she was going?

I bet this was great to watch. Sometimes insects do the strangest things. And so do snails...I have a fishhook cactus of fairly good size and every year I find at least one snail with a very low I.Q. impaled on top of this cactus. You got to wonder how he got all the way to the top and then you have to wonder if he didn't have a clue this was not a good idea way back when he started the climb??? Anyway, Really good, clear shot.

A rare shot indeed, first time I have seen a lady bug tip toe, like KathyM I am curious, did she get to the end? I am enjoying looking through your Gallery Lee, thanks for sharing your talented pictures with us.
