The Ladybugs' Picnic
Uploaded: October 15, 2010 06:22:01
My attention was drawn to this pomegranate when a section of its outer skin fell to the ground under the tree. I was lucky to get this one shot off, before the lady's scurried into hiding in the fruits crevices.

That is some tribe of Ladybugs you have there Carla! This is a remarkable macro capture, and obviously a one off chance! Well done! #8977282Carla Capra Anderson October 17, 2010
:~) I was so surprised that I figured there'd be too much camera shake to even tell the lady's from the fruit. They quickly scurried away to hide.Tiia Vissak October 18, 2010
