Description

Found this amorous little couple, just hanging around the Vegetable patch, having an early start for VALENTINES DAY! You will also notice, that some aphids spreading their weight right below them. They already had their fare share of the greens, by the look of those holes in the Silver Beets. My guess is, the Ladybugs have better things to do first, before having a snack attack on those pale-green, juicy little suckers, who are next (?) in the food-chain. I hope, that you will also have a 'tasty V-day'... I'm talking about Chocolates, of course! Cheers *BB*

WOW! I love the fact that in the insect world males are smaller than females...and you caught these two beautifully. You know, it wasn't until last summer that I'd seen an infant ladybug for the first time. I had no idea their nymphs were so extravagant...they give tussock moth larvae a run for their money. And now, I see how they're commonly made! Great work. The aphids are a nice surprise too, but in all honesty I don't blame them for the holes...aphids are suckers not biters and chewers, but then in the land Down Under, there could be odd marsupial aphids with the jaws of death! One never knows! At any rate, this is a wonderful photo; great details and light control. And it's fitting for Valentine's day as well. Great work all around.

A great macro though I'm not sure this mating is going to work as he looks to be a bit small for the task. LOL. It must work though as there are lots of ladybugs about eh. The aphids are probably celebrating that the ladybugs are well occupied. A beautiful capture.

BB This is an excellent capture, and yes I suspect they will need some more energy by eating those aphids after their courting. Great macro shot my friend, hugs Jane xx
