ladybug, ladybug fly away home

it was another gorgeous day in the upper 60's here in the bay area, and to take advantage i went hiking with my sister at redwood regional park, in the east bay. we happened upon this swarm of ladybugs also basking in the sunny day. i had the 20mm lens on the camera, but luckily had my 50mm macro along as well, so i was able to change the lens and get some close-ups. i have to admit, had these been any other type of bug, i'm not sure i'd have wanted to get as close. i'm not really insect squeamish, but there were so many it was borderline horror movie freakish.
