Ladybug. I hunted this beauty for at least 10 minutes. I even thought I had lost her when she fell from the trunk of a tree to the ground in the old grass. But she got out of there and crawled up the tree trunk again. This is the first ladybug this spring. And I'm glad that I managed to have a wonderful photo shoot with her. This was facilitated by the lighting, the sun.





During the photoshoot, the Sun has not yet risen high above the horizon, so the shadow of the bug is quite large. Do you know why I saw this ladybug? I was deleting this tree. It was already an old plum and it stopped yielding a good harvest. So I decided to remove it and plant new plums in this place.




But now I thought - maybe I need to plant other trees in this place? Should I plant plums elsewhere? So that the diseases of the old plum do not pass from the ground to the new young trees. We need to think about it.
In the meantime, I'll show you some more photos of the beautiful ladybug.












This girl did not climb up in a straight line, but she walked in zigzags, so the shadow sometimes disappeared. The ladybug was sometimes completely on the sunny side or completely on the shady side.



The bug climbed onto a small old twig, quickly spread its wings, and flew into the sky! The camera didn't have time to take a shot of her taking off.
Well, the photoshoot is over.
