I’m continuing my macro theme with this shot of a tiny ladybird that I’m glad that I somehow managed to spot clinging to the underside of this yellow flower that seems inordinately popular with any local insects.

I’ve been wanting to take a nice shot of a ladybird for a long time, but I never do seem to be able to find any.

However, on this occasion, thanks to the Irish summer “heat”, there seems to be a whole lot of insect activity about these days, which is good news for macro photography!

Let me know how you like it, and to view or buy my work at my photo store, just click on the picture to be taken directly there.

Cheers,
Feargal

Caterpillar Dinner Date

Here’s another macro shot of a couple of caterpillars dining together on a yellow flower that seemed extremely popular with a huge amount of these quite bizarre looking insects on my walk up the coast yesterday.

To buy this or any of my other nature shots for as little as €50 for an A4 print with free delivery, then just click on the picture above to be brought to my newly constructed shop.

Thanks for stopping by,
Feargal
