photoartflightLady Bug On Thistle
During a walk at Davidsons Mill Pond Park we noticed this Lady Bug on a Thistle. I thought it looked interesting against the textures on the Thistle. Also it sort of had the same roundish shape as the Thistle. I was traveling light with a 300mm f/4 lens on a Canon 1D mkIV.

Ladybugs are always nice to meet when you are out in the open, although I usually mostly see them in our garden.
Yes, we usually see them at the parks we visit. At our old home we saw them occasionally i our gardens. At our condo I do not think we have seen any in our gardens.
Very nice, Reed. Looks like treacherous footing…even when you have six foots. 🙂
It is amazing how they can hold on vertically! Plus they always seem to constantly be moving!
I love ladybugs! Is that a second smaller bug to the right of the featured ladybug, just where the pink part of the thistle begins?
Yes! I think it is! At first I thought the 2 dark strands next to it were legs but looking at the hires file they are part of the plant. But the dark spot looks like part of a bug’s body.
