Another ladybird

This is one of the other Ladybirds we found on our Sage plants - it is not on a plant in the photo - it's on the green baize cloth of our snooker table!

I decided to experiment with using flash to counteract their innate desire to keep moving and set the power on 1/4 to get a short duration burst of light - it seems to have worked OK, but all comments/suggestions welcome.

You certainly potted that one well John, marks, I'll give you 147 You certainly got the detail in it, as for the snooker table, would never have known. Would have thought your lawn is a bit more greener than mine.

John was certainly on the ball with this shot, I would have been snookered if I had tried it.
