I have never managed to capture a ladybird/bug just about to take off in a natural environment. Today I finally got it and I am very pleased. :D

These were all taken with my 100 F2.8L and a 12mm Ext. Tube attached. Single images at F11

And some other shots of the same ladybird prior to its flight

Very similar shot only on a different leaf.

And a fly

...here's one that I didn't quite succeed on although the wing movement is nice

I never knew Lady's wings are so long! How she hides that so well?
Lovely images.

Very nice series, Ian. The first shot is super cool and the jumper and fly are lovely.

First shot belongs in a textbook! Like samsen. I had no idea about their wings and tail. Great stuff!
