At first, I did not notice this ladybug in the bushes, since it was hiding a little bit on the curl of the leaf, but then on another inspection of the bush, I noticed the pattern and also the shiny body, I immediately knew that I found a ladybug.
This ladybug might be one of the Coelophora_inaequalis or the variable ladybug since they have different markings or spots on the body when they become an adult ladybug.
She wandered around the leaf when I tried to take photos of her, maybe she sensed my disturbance because I needed to push another branch of the bush to be able to get a good angle and focus on the ladybug.
Here it was hiding behind another leaf, but it made the ladybug a little bit under mystery since half of its head was hidden behind the leaf.
It tried to hide moe under the curl of the leaf, making it a little bit difficult for me to take the photos.
Now it going up again, exposing herself to me. Do you notice the white spots around her, I think it is the carcasses of the aphids that she feeds on.
tried to go down again.
And here where I lost her, she went to the side, and then one bump from my hand to the leaf, she fell into the thickness of the bushes below.
