coccinellidae, eh?

Jump to Comments

that’s the name for a lady bug. I found out on wikipedia.

I was on the subway recently, on the way to Main station, and I got startled mid trip by a lady bug on the window. Right next to my head! Took out my camera right away, and took many MANY unsuccessful shots. The guy next to me thought I was nuts.

But I think I got a few gems! (ten points for those true torontonians who can tell which stations are featured in the second and third pictures!)

these people took WAY better shots of some coccinellidae:
