caption: These two ladybirds got up early to enjoy some of the last warm days of fall. When I came across this scene, the entire plant was covered in colonies of aphids and ladybirds. So I observed them for a while, trying to make out an appealing composition in a crowd of red and orange shells. As two of the insects each climbed one of the topmost leafs, the time had come to take the photos I had been waiting for. To get both ladybirds sharp and in focus I combined to exposures, taken handheld and in sequence.
