Wonderful macro here Keith. That is why the agri-food industry values ​​ladybugs. It's the only insect I appreciate, along with bees.
Best wishes, Anton.

Thank you so much Anton.....I'm pleased you like this one!

Ladybirds are known as a Gardeners Friend......and rightly so..!!

Auf geht's an die Futterquelle! Die Blattläuse schauen schon ganz ängstlich. Aber sie werden nicht entkommen! ;-))

Apparently a single adult ladybird can eat up to 50 to 60 aphids per day. This one seemed to be doing its very best..!!

Thanks for dropping in Frank!

Wow,muss man sich im Vollbild anschauen,da sind auch die Blattläuse sehr scharf abgebildet lieber Keith,ein Makrobild vom Feinsten,hast du sehr gut beobachtet und super aufgenommen das Marienkäferle am Stengel :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Sonntag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks for your visit and for taking the trouble to view this one large, Güni..........I'm really pleased you like it so much!

Apparently a single adult ladybug can eat up to 50 to 60 aphids per day. I hope I didn't distract it too much :-)))

Have a lovely Sunday evening my friend. Best wishes, Keith ;-)

Excellent details seen large! I hope the ladybird was hungry enough to get rid of all the aphids;-)

Thank you very much Gudrun........glad you like it.

Apparently a single adult ladybug can eat up to 50 to 60 aphids per day, so I think it was probably hungry enough!

Das habe ich auch gelesen! :-) Das Käferchen scheint die Läuse ja regelrecht in die Enge zu treiben ... ;-))

Die Natur ist immer wieder faszinierend,wie sie reagiert lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I could do with some ladybirds to eat the greenfly on our roses. A mighty nice capture here from you. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb

This excellent macro must be enjoyed full screen, Keith!
The ladybird ready to devour the aphis...I can see why it is called Gardeners Friend!
An exquisite composition in this beautiful , sharp picture!

Wow! this is an awesome macro and good to see the ladybird is doing its job, do you remember the invasion of the ladybirds in the hot summer of 1976? there were loads of them.
Anyhow brilliant shot sir
