Horizontal macro of a red and black spotted Harlequin lady beetle, aka ladybug or ladybird walking along a green stem.
Horizontal macro image of a red and black spotted ladybird, also known as ladybug or lady beetle, crawling along the stalk of a green leaf in the sunshine. Coccinellids are often brightly coloured to ward away potential predators. This defence works because most predators associate bright colours especially orange, black or yellow with poison and other unpleasant properties.
