You did a wonderful job in close ups. I never seen those type of bugs that look like lady bugs. Do you know what they are called?

Well done. Crisp focus and good use of DoF. I can see a macro lens or extension tubes i your future ;)

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thank you Photo Plex & Baydream...
yeah they are quite similar to lady bugs but they are strangely having a transparent cover over their shell/body i guess..lol I dunno if they are some different species. I shot they during my morning walk and i think they have a dew cover over their body attached below the leaf !

Some nice captures....Only suggection I'd have is maybe do some cropping. There is a blurred foreground section of the "Ladybug Conga" shot that distracts, other than that, it's a terrific shot.
