p.1 #1 · Spotted cucumber beetle

Found this little one just as I was about to get in out of the rain. Aggie Gardens, early overcast with light rain just before work; D200-Sigma 150-DIY-ringlight built by Lextalionis and influenced by Dalantech

#1 Hello, there! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/3056193348_6493329d84_o.jpg

#2 You seem a nice sort, so I'll go about my business. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/3056193378_c913a96765_o.jpg

#3 You still there? Go away, can't you see it's raining? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3180/3056193392_fdb422cd1d_o.jpg

At this point, I got to thinking about the weather sealing in my camera and decided that discretion is the better part of valor.

Thanks for looking, comments always welcomed. Happy Thanksgiving week to all of you.

Thanks Phil and Igor. I first thought this was a fourteen-spotted ladybug until I looked at this.

Thanks Mick and Gary.
@Gary-I have to give credit where it's due: the ringlight I'm using was built by Roy(Lextalionis) and the suggestion for diffusion material and application came from John(Dalantech). I am really enjoying the look of it, for sure, and finding out that I can do fairly well with handholding if I can keep my shutter speeds up and the flash durations short.
