Harlequin ladybird

Lord Vetinari

Found this harlequin ladybird hibernating in the house when we were taking down the Christmas decorations.
Photographed on a clear plastic box with a blue card behind. First 2 shots normal flash, last shot artificial light using 2 LED light sources, one underneath and the other to the side. I actually used a bean bag and remote shutter release for this last one.
All shots focus stacked using zerene.
