Asian Lady Beetle, female

Harmonia axyridis, female.

Beetles fly via their hind wings only. Here the front wings, or elytra are raised,
the hind wings are being extending for flight it looks like she's unfolding them.
I got too close and in an instant she took off. I didn't know I had captured this
moment until later when I reviewed the day's photo haul.
