Default Harlequin ladybird
Series of shots of an interestingly marked and dented harlequin ladybird. Focus stacked using zerene stacker. I purposely focus stacked the foreground in some of the shots.
After taking two shot sequences the ladybird got fed up and started wandering around so I gave it a drop of honey which it promptly buried it's nose in.

Thanks for the comments Gautam and Loeee

Loeee- I reckon their more normal fodder aphids are just bags of dilute honey

Thanks Remy and Rich for the comments

Rich - two reasons for the angles- firstly I prefer bugs at a slight angle rather than horizontal but more practically as my flash angle is fairly fixed around 2pm against the lens, rotating the camera enables me to get a lower flash angle which helps reduce the flash reflection on these rather reflective subjects
