Eek!!! That's a lot of ladybugs all in one place, Arthur! I'm not a big fan of bugs, so I think I'll stay away from those mountains! Ha! Ha! However, you captured them wonderfully well! Excellent colour and detail! Great work! :) #1484186

Hey Arthur, I agree with Lorna. I'm not a bug fan. A photo is about as close as I will get. :-).

Great photo!

Nice details on these ladybugs, Art, and I like the colors and the comp. It also has a nice blur at the top. I've never seen more than one or two at a time, so this is very interesting to me. I wonder what makes them gather. #10307492

Arthur ~ I think Kalena meant that looking at these bugs in a photo is as close as she will ever get to them! Ha! Ha! :) #10307729

Yep, Lorna, that's right. Sorry, Arthur. Bugs and I don't get along very well! Love the photo, though!
