22 spot ladybird drying off his wings!

Another ladybird pik my garden is full of them all different species, quite beautiful!
I rescued this little fella from my wildlife pond so he was drying his wings out in the sun!
Not as sharp as I'd liked but the wind was blowing him around on the nettle making it almost impossible to capture perfectly!

Here are a few more uploaded today from my hedgerow.

I love this pic in many ways - it lovely in its own right even without the ladybird but he/she's the icing on the cake!

It is a beautiful shot Carole because the DOF is superb and the focus is right on the Ladybird. ~

Great macro work.
Not sure but are these ladybirds the ones that are killing off our native ones?
