Hey guys,

Found a visitor in the bedroom, who turned out to be fairly photogenic. Images below, some have the little one duplicated, showing where he was and where he's going. Wasn'y sure if this is actually a ladybug or not, thought they dressed only in bright vibrant colours, no?

Well camoflauged on the floor, sneaking up on a skewer stick:

Two images comp'd together, taken 3 seconds apart:

Walking sideways, gravity no issue:

Wanted this one to show where he'd been, but to me seems more like, "I'm gonna jump" ... "Jump, jump, jump!!!":

Hi this is a varied carped beetle. Not good to have indoors. Nice captures.

Carpet beetle. They eat silk, wool, and other materials that you might prefer not to get chewed up.

Thanks for the info everyone ...thought he looked too sneakily camouflaged to be a ladybug. Well I set him free after the shoot so hopefully the wardrobe is safe.

When you see one, that means there's more. A lot more.


If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?
