Ladybird



This was a funny ladybird. She was quite peaceful on this rock and didn't move at all... But when I started to photograph her, she just flew away - to my arm :). I had troubles to flatter her back to the rock... Finally she walked from my arm to the rock and I could take a few shots of her. At home, when I tried to determine her speices, I had first troubles, but I think she's Anatis Ocellata (in Estonian "silmiktriinu", in English "satyr ladybird"), due to the brighter rings around black spots.
