Spotted lady beetle (Coleomagilla maculata) on bloodroot

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

A lovely shot by Barry of the little native lady beetle on the native bloodroot flower (Sanguinaria canadensis). Being one of the first of the spring ephemerals to bloom, this plant attracts a lot of interest from insects.

Very nice close up with these details. I like how the beetle is covered in pollen. "V"
