She's A Lady!!!

Here's a shot I took last year of a ladybug on a Daylily in the front garden. A Ladybug is defined as a small beetle with a domed back, typically red or yellow with black spots. Both the adults and larvae are important predators of aphids. The Ladybug does have a symbolic meaning and is best known as an emblem of luck. When a Ladybug lands on you, it is said your wish will come true. Enjoy and have a great weekend!!!!!!

This one seems to be particularly well endowed with spots...there's been the odd summer when we here in Toronto seemed to have a heavy influx of these 'ladies'...yours has chosen a nice resting place to showcase her colors...nice shot.

Very nice capture of the little ladybird on that bright yellow petal of the lily Laura. A beautiful contribution for the foofy day!

I haven't had a ladybug land on me since I don't know when, but the next time it happens, I will definitely make a wish! Gorgeous shot for Fx2, Laura.

I hadn't heard the "old wives tales," about the Ladybug, Laura. Keep in mind that I am not calling you an "old wife." :)
Wonderful shot.

What a wonderful presentation on this Laura - love that framing - I know about the legend with lady bugs but unfortunately I have the same reaction to them as I do to any bug landing on me! And as my husband says "It ain't pretty"!

Nice photo here, It's nice to see a ladybug again, as we were invaded by Asian Beatles several years ago, we haven't seen many Ladybugs. The flower makes a wonderful frame for this little critter.
