Spring Ladybug

munching on aphids
perched atop an aspen leaf ~
         a lone ladybug

Sam Kauffman Date: 4/7/2021 10:35:00 AM Congrats and kudos Edward on your first place win! Every year we get ladybugs who eat the aphids on our apple trees! They are a sure sign of spring! Well done - creative take on the contest! Sending you Easter blessings of joy! Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 4/7/2021 1:21:00 PM Thank you so much, Sam:-) A ladybug once landed on my shirt out of nowhere. I gently picked it off and let crawl on my palm as I watched it in awe, then I placed it on a leaf. Such a strikingly beautiful insect. I just couldn't kill it. I hope you had a great Easter!
