Holy Macro
Spotted this pine ladybird sitting very innocently next to a scale insect on a variegated holly leaf. Had a look 45 mins later and the ladybird was tucking into lunch.
All shots focus stacked using zerene.

Thanks for the comments
Bas- yes the brown thing is a scale insect which can be quite serious plant pests.
