Spotted

I spotted today's PAD subject after locking myself out of the house this morning.
As I waited for one of my menfolk to let me back in, I noticed this 22 spot ladybird (thanks Google) on the yucca plant which I had put out to enjoy some summer rain.
I don't think I've seen one of these yellow ladybirds before.

I've never seen a ladybird like that - very swish! :o)

Not only is the little beetle very pretty it also will keep your Yucca free of mildew. Your capture of it against the green smooth background is very beautiful! V

That is beautiful! Both the lady beetle and the shot itself. As Peter said, good thing you locked yourself out with your camera (at least you had what really matters!). V
