Stevie was cutting back Fuchsia's today and putting them under cover in the workshop lean to to protect from frost.

Coming out of the workshop this evening I spotted a ladybird having a wander around on one of the plants.

Nightmare job taking these as they were manually focussed by the light of two 60 watt bulbs. 3 pics attached all full frame, and all hand held.

55mm AIS lens, and to add to the complication, plus 14mm extension tube and 2 x converter. Due to short lens to subject distance the diy ringflash could not handle this, so I used the Metz and the diffuser bowl.

Ladybird now transferred to a flowering plant that has some live bait on.
