And a brand new Lady Bug is born

It took eleven days to transform itself from a rather ugly little critter http://www.pbase.com/bryan_murahashi/image/49459566

to become a cute spotted Lady bug.

She did not wander too far from the now empty shell. Probably looking for some aphids to munch on;-)

And here I was with my gloom and doom comments about it being dead or hibernating. :) A glorious birth and photograph. Vote. Even if with the way popular photos is working that may be meaningless. :)

Wow! 'glad she didn't wander that far and it's so nice to see the series and transformation of this little cute critter. Great macro that I can see that her wings/shell are not yet that hard.. :o)
