I had aphids in my flowers so I bought some ladybugs to eat them and I've been having fun taking macros of them.

I like the second one the best. Very nice shots. Ladybugs are great pesticide. Didn't know you could buy them. Do they come in a jar and you release them on your plants, or what?

Thanks guys!

Randy, they came in a container at OSH and I let a bunch out every few evenings (they won't fly away in the dark).

Those are straight from the camera! The only thing I did was a little cropping and resizing in Photoshop. :) Gotta love the Canon colors.
