This insect was resting on a fir cone, in cool enough temperatures to keep it still for me to take a close shot.
At first glance I assumed an insect was running up the wall...but on further examination, I could see something under those six legs. My macro lens gave me a better view of a crab spider being invited for lunch. I think this insect was a Spider Wasp...and here's more information about these critters...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_wasp

Ladybugs are voracious aphid eaters, yet the aphid follows the ladybug.

In portraiture crisp focus on the eyes is essential since they connect with the viewers and draw them into the frame. When it comes to eyes it's hard to beat the damselfly. Not only do they have incredible eyes, but they also have an interesting alien-like appearance that make them fun to shoot.

It seems as if the prominent spots above the antenna and the white horizontal line below the spots, make it appear as if the ladybug is smiling.
It is easy to find myself imagining what in the world might make this insect feel happiness.
Perhaps there are a cluster of aphids on the leaf below....or it could be that the sun is warming his/her elytra, which are the hardened forewing serving as protective wing-cases for the hindwings underneath. Only the ladybug knows the answer.
