Hello everyone! Today I'd like to show you a ladybug I found among the bushes and grass on a rice paddy embankment.

This small beetle, bright red with an attractive black stripe, definitely caught my eye and wanted to take some interesting photos. It took me several shots to get a good one.

This small beetle crawled around, occasionally stopping. It was when I took the picture. It looked like it was sucking the nectar from a flower. I rarely see this beetle due to its small size, so I didn't waste this brief opportunity. The results are as you can see, and I hope they won't disappoint.
