 Every year about this time we are infested with ladybugs when we get a warm sunny day. Last year I collected some and used them in the "Dead End" Challenge:

This year I decided to try something a little different. I didn't kill them or use superglue. I thought I would let these little critters crawl around freely on the dice and see what happened. I took well over 100 shots and chose this one as the best of the bunch. I hope you like it.

Very cute idea. Love the lighting. Great macro...sharpness and contrast seem to be spot-on (no pun intended). ;)
