The unsharpness surrounding the beetle really gives you the idea that you are watching a secret world through a keyhole. Well done! Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago

Like seeing something you've never noticed yet was always here. Just in a nook, a corner. This is one of them nooks that suddenly shows something surprising. Great shot! Posted 13 years ago

The Seven-spotted Lady Beetle

Coccinella septempunctata is the most common ladybird in Europe. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names.
