7 erin 07.26.07 at 5:29 am

I’m not sure hardened forewings qualify as tocks.

8 anon 07.26.07 at 5:32 am

I don’t really know why, but I find this picture to be absolutely adorable. Not to mention it’s a lovely photo.

9 Annie 07.26.07 at 5:34 am

11 R. Moore 07.26.07 at 5:35 am

15 Shannon 07.26.07 at 6:42 am

Love gentlemanbug….greatest new word in long time!

16 Aubrey 07.26.07 at 6:50 am

A Ladybug is one of the few insects that will not throw me into a blind panic.

It must be because of its manners.

17 musicchick2 07.26.07 at 7:00 am

Bugs have ‘tocks??!! Um, Meg, how many glasses of Shiraz did you have tonight, hmmm??? LMAO!

18 musicchick2 07.26.07 at 7:03 am

Meg, if ladybugs have ‘tocks, then these photos (by the same photographer) must be real, right? ;-)

Now this is a bug I can really get into!!

More sweet and beautiful photos like this, please!!!!

27 Jen 07.26.07 at 12:16 pm

That is a gorgeous photo.

28 Dr Science 07.26.07 at 12:49 pm

This has to be one of the most beautiful pics I’ve ever seen on CO.

29 Windyridge 07.26.07 at 1:12 pm

How do you send pics in? I emailed cuteoverload got no response and don’t see any place here to submit photos. Anybody know?

30 Theo 07.26.07 at 1:32 pm

WindyRidge — it’s in the right-hand margin under “Got Cute?”

Also, please bear this in mind: the CO submissions mailbox is always overflowing. And I mean up to TWENTY THOUSAND EMAILS overflowing. No lie.

31 Redzilla 07.26.07 at 1:36 pm

What Theo is sayin’ is: by all means, send the cute. Just don’t hold your breath. ‘Cause you’ll pass out and hit your head on the corner of your desk and wake up with a headache and a little puddle of drool on the floor. Nobody wants that.

32 Yitzysmommie 07.26.07 at 1:36 pm

What a wonderful picture, and i too am smiling at Gentlemanbugs.
Glad this picture was spotted….

33 NotSupposedToBeDoingThisAtWork 07.26.07 at 1:37 pm

Brian, bwah hah ha!!! I’m not gonna stop all day with that now, so thanks for that.

On an actual picture comment note, pretty! and shiny! that bright red against the white and green is gorgeous. is that Queen Anne’s Lace he’s meandering over?

and also with the gentleman bug love… ok, i’ll stop now…

34 LisaN 07.26.07 at 1:45 pm

I love ladybugs. And the colors in this photo are great, they all just pop.

“tip toe ..through the tulips ..” Ok I know those aren’t tulips precisely but flowers, at least! Lovely photo. I love lady/gentleman bugs.

43 yankeebird 07.26.07 at 6:48 pm

*shudders* Ugh….

Ladybugs are beetles and I am TERRIFIED of beetles. Not that it’s ya’ll’s problem, but I just wanted to share. *shudders again*

44 donutbill 07.26.07 at 7:13 pm

Dear Ladybug: You have really nice ‘tocks. Will you marry me??

45 vasco 07.26.07 at 7:29 pm

JOKE:

-Why does the ladybug failed the test?

-She got only seven points…

:D

Sooooo darn cute!

47 Martha in Washington 07.26.07 at 7:58 pm

I love ladybugs. I bought some at the hardware store once to put on my roses because the roses had lots of aphids and ladybugs eat aphids but the ladybugs all flew away home. I was sad.

But this spring I found a whole bunch of BABEH ladybugs on my mums! They were SOOO anerable!! Wish I’d took pictures.

48 dcist 07.26.07 at 8:33 pm

Yep, our readers really loved this shot too when we posted it yesterday! Thanks for highlighting this great photographer.

49 Annie 07.26.07 at 9:07 pm

Okay Peeps I tried it and it makes a lovely desk top back ground. Yup Yup!

50 Shannon Johnson 07.26.07 at 10:11 pm

Now that is cute. A little ladybug. Looooooooooooove it.

51 Barbara 07.27.07 at 1:43 am

SO much cuter than the tick.

52 Yubi Shines 07.27.07 at 1:53 am

FACT:
“Ladybugs on Racks” is more common than the average person thinks. If I had a nickel for every time I found a buggy on my chest when the neighborhood was swarming with them…

Too bad I never have my camera when I really want it.

53 Brak_Silverbone 07.27.07 at 11:54 pm

Somebody seems to have turtle-waxed this insect’s heinder. It’s so shiny!
