The Perfect Shot, Lady-Bug As She Takes Off....

avatar

Hey everyone, I have been taking pics for years and more so since 2017 when I joined Steemit. The shot I have been wanting to capture for many years is this one right here and I am elated, Patience really does pay off!

As far as I am concerned any shot of a bug or bird just as they are taking off truly is epic and today finally after 2 arduous years trying finally I nailed it, and here it is..

Normally I save the best shot for last but with that timing just had to put it as pic 1. How lucky was I to get that right? These wings actually fold up, if you have a look at the wingcaps/covers they are literally half the size of the wings. Watching these unfold as she takes off, truly remarkable!

This Lady-Bug was busy hunting for aphids on my Tahitian Butternuts as I was busy trying to capture the perfect shotpo

Here we have a general overview of the Tahitian Buttenut plant, taking a closer look you will notice a yellow flower, this is the beginning of the fruiting Tahitian Butternut, I am rather excited about this probably within a month we shall be able to harvest and eat these.

The contrast between red and green of this lady buy truly is gorgeous, Often I find these on my other vegetables, they love foraging the kale and Chinese Machilli Cabbage normally plenty food (aphids) on those vegetables! About 5 seconds before take off 4, 3, 2, 1 snapped the top pic and she was off.

I trust you have an epic week but with BTC doing what it is, SIGH, MOON when, crypto's really are a little exhausting at the moment especially when you are in a long term long BTC trade but remain optimistic and HODL we shall!
