Ladybug With Her Lunch

Description

I just went out this morning and checked a field of peas near our house, and saw there were quite a few ladybugs, which I love. I took a few on the plants, but got this one down on the ground. After pulling it up on the screen did I discover that she had a bug/spider or something in her mouth! I was delighted with that bonus. I decided to crop it more of a pano view, to give more attention to her and her lunch. Taken with Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 100 mm L macro lens, with K-800X twin flash and homemade diffuser. Handheld at f16, 1/250, ISO 200.
