Ladybird Metamorphosis

[Stan]

When we are out shooting we are always on the lookout for the unusual and these shots fall into that category. Spotted yesterday on the BWC nature reserve, this is a ladybird nymph about ot become a ladybird. He/she is feeding on a fly and in the first shot you can see the ladybird emerging from the rear end. Then all of a sudden eh did a "handstand" - no idea why but remained like that until we left him alone

Both these shots are from Dee - I have similar but she got the better point of view
