Water Wings
2011.04.11
No not on one of the chimps, that's my hairy arm.
|
On the nail of my little finger.

I've got it feeding out of the palm of my hand.

Later on a chair. I don't know how it got so dusty.

When I went to go out into the garden this morning, this little ladybird was sitting in my sandal. I picked it up, but it didn't fly away. If you look closely, in some of the shots you can see little droplets of moisture inside its wings. I don't know the cause of it, perhaps condensation. What I do know is that on many occasions the ladybird opened its wings as if trying to dry them out. The other thing I know is that it isn't easy trying to hold a ladybird in one hand and a camera in the other. Shots with its wings stretched seemed particularly difficult.

Jon, what a great set. I was particularly fascinated by the shapes of the black dots on its shell. They are so random!!
