28 Spotted Potato Ladybird




I recently discovered that those cute little ladybirds I have been photographing in my backyard are actually pests. Named the '28 Spotted Potato Ladybirds', these little guys feed on the leaves of potatoes, pumpkins, melons and other leafy crops.

Here's the set up:

I wrapped a rubber band around the group of pencils and placed them on top of a white board. Then I placed the camera directly above the top of the pencils.
