"ONE AND HALF POUND APPLE".

A lot of data has been circulated on this species "THE LADY BUG" so I do not need to add any further.

How strange, this title,"ONE AND HALF POUND APPLE", and yet I've posted a Lady Bug grazing and foraging on aphids, plant lice, other bugs and insects on our apple tree. (1) It even keeps the flowers on the apple tree totally CLEAN of pests and parasites to welcome the next guest onto the host.

The next guest is the BEE. (2) It's the bee that pollinates(3) those flowers to produce that "ONE AND HALF POUND APPLE".(13) Please compare the size of an adult human female fingers holding that fruit and the largeness of this apple. You can also see other fruit in the container.(12) This will give you an idea of its enormous size; there is a normal sized apple below the large one.

This great harvest was possible because of the gentle and BEAUTIFUL lady bug.

Once the little baby apples begin to show the lady bug goes about her other business of mating and laying her eggs (4) on the leaves and branches. They lay these eggs all over the greenery by the millions and MILLIONS. In so doing they GUARANTEE the survival of their species.(5) &(10) They "know" of the oncoming onslaught by the Yellow jackets(6) and the Bald-face Hornets(7) &(8) & (9) who have to also "feed" (11) their babies within their nests.

All this so Mario may have his "apple a day to keep the doctor away".(13)

Bonjour Mario
Très joli ce macro de cette belle petite coccinelle sur sa feuille verte qui fait bien ressortir ses couleurs, les détails et les contrastes sont réussis très jolis couleurs. Elle est très belle cette présentation.

Bravo et merci ....JP

Hi, Mario.
I am impressed with your unique note fore this interesting macro shot. I like this kind of photography and welcome your attempt. Excluding sharpness, the shot is very good. My greetings and compliments.

P.S. I continue to be confused from your excessively positive responses.
