Lady Bugged

This little ladybird found its way into our living room where I spotted it (as a possible blip subject of course!) this afternoon. However it turned out to be a very camera-shy bug and pulled in its legs in a apparent tortoise impersonation anytime I got close with the camera. I wandered off to let it relax, but when I returned it had disappeared, so I ended up blipping a much less interesting subject.

This evening though she returned, and eventually I managed to coax it into walking a bit for me. Here's the result, lit by an LED torch, and using a total of 3 close-up adapters on the lens! One day I should treat myself to a macro lens!
