Well, actually its a Spotted Cucumber Beetle, and not a Ladybug at all. But, it is on a morning glory flower.

Not too bad for hand-held with extension tubes and natural light, eh? That flower kept moving in the wind. I couldn't close down the aperture enough to get the beetle in focus....maybe fewer tubes would have been the answer.

Love the colors and pattern, but I might like to see a little more of the bug in focus. I like how you can really see the segmentation in the antennae.
 
Yea, I definitely have to work on my macro technique. I have a "better" shot in terms of the bug being in focus, but the feel is not the same.
