Hard to Hide
THE PHOTO:
A ladybird in a flowering tree. Actually there were hundreds on this particular tree so it must be a specific variety. The problem with photographing ladybirds is that, unless you get them early in the morning, they scurry around so constantly that its hard to get a clear shot – this was the closest I got from about 20 efforts.
Taken in Knyeton, Victoria.
