PhotoFeed Contest - Macro Photography - Nowhere to hide

This post will be my entry for @photofeed macro photography contest If you wish to join the contest please kindly read and follow the rules and guidelines here for Contest Round 74



At first, I did not notice this ladybug in the bushes, since it was hiding a little bit on the curl of the leaf, but then on another inspection of the bush, I noticed the pattern and also the shiny body, I immediately knew that I found a ladybug.

This ladybug might be one of the Coelophora_inaequalis or the variable ladybug since they have different markings or spots on the body when they become an adult ladybug.

She wandered around the leaf when I tried to take photos of her, maybe she sensed my disturbance because I needed to push another branch of the bush to be able to get a good angle and focus on the ladybug.

Here it was hiding behind another leaf, but it made the ladybug a little bit under mystery since half of its head was hidden behind the leaf.

It tried to hide moe under the curl of the leaf, making it a little bit difficult for me to take the photos.

Now it going up again, exposing herself to me. Do you notice the white spots around her, I think it is the carcasses of the aphids that she feeds on.

tried to go down again.

And here where I lost her, she went to the side, and then one bump from my hand to the leaf, she fell into the thickness of the bushes below.

Those look like some dead aphids alright. That ladybug is doing it's job by eating up those aphids! Great shots!
