Seven-spotted Lady Beetle, Coccinella septempunctata I was waiting for my husband and had the camera out to pass the few moments. Kneeling in the grass, what should I find but this lovely ladybug! Thanks to Phil Huntley-Franck for identification information!

This image was taken on my property in Southern Oregon in July, 2011.

After I took the previous pictures, I saw this cutie pie crawling up the stem of an allium plant! I was amused to see that juvenile ladybugs are just as fast as adults! This one zoomed up and down the stems, rarely stopping. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to get a clear picture, which was no small feat, as it was also windy and the stem was blowing back and forth! :D This is my favorite, and when I showed the 6 different choices to Steve, he picked this one out too without any prompting from me! :)
