BEAUTIFUL pix, Wizz. I'd not seen one so close-up before. Not realized that there's a 'lip' round their shells. And the sheen on them - like they're highly lacquered. 8) Whew!

glad you liked them AM :)
in the 2nd image you can see it's been in the wars it's a wee bit bashed  :'(

Fantastic photos.
Even the body looks to have a shell like quality.

absolutely amazing.  stunning pics GW.

i've not seen ANY AT ALL in the garden this year.   :'(

Great pics GW. Keep 'em coming please.

Great pics as always GW.  I spotted loads of ladybirds on my Brussel sprouts tonight, they had laods to eat as well.

jet propelled ladybirds c :)
