If I stay still, you won't find me... (Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata)

Shooting bugs is always a challenge. So when i saw this unusual ladybug (my 1st time shooting these) i couldn't contain my excitement.

This little one was wandering on my garage's windowsill and when it felt my presence it started to run to the sides and back and forward. I started to shoot continuously, but I couldn't catch it, and my diffuser was always scraping the wall.

Anyway, when I was about to lose my temper, it suddenly stopped in this very position. I guess she was sick of running away. I took my chance and there it is.

Composition and background aren't the best, but it was fun!
