Black Button - _TNY_9842
A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Nackareservatet nature reserve for an excursion with the Stockholm Entomological Society which was a real treat and also resulted in some nice photos.
Here is a ladybird which I believe I haven't photographed before - a heather ladybird (Chilocorus bipustulatus) which is a rather small species so this was shot at 3.3:1 magnification.
These guys are a bit difficult to shoot with the small size combined with being so dark and also very glossy, but I think I managed to get some detail on that tiny face.
