Transverse ladybird

On the grass, still covered in morning dew, I found a transverse ladybird busily darting back and forth from one blade of grass to another. It looked very restless, never still, constantly moving. I turned on my phone camera, hoping to capture the ladybird. I kept pointing it wherever it moved.

I snapped so many pictures, probably over a hundred. Only a few turned out well, while others were blurry, and some didn't even show the ladybird in the picture. But strangely, even though it was constantly moving, I didn't feel like giving up. In fact, I felt like I was watching a beautiful morning entertainment.

Furthermore, I felt like my skills had improved slightly at photographing moving objects. Although the results weren't perfect, I was happy to have captured it. The ladybird I encountered was very small. If it weren't for its bright colors, I would likely have passed it by because it was invisible.

The ladybird's color was reddish orange mixed with jet black. The harmonious color combination and pattern resemble an abstract painting. Seen from another angle, the ladybug resembles a living, constantly moving jewel.
