When my sister and I were watering the eggplant plants in the backyard, I suddenly found two ladybugs mating on the eggplant leaves, I always consider these insects as pests for my plants but as long as the population is not too large I still leave them there, especially since the ladybugs I found were mating and it was in its happy period. when I found this ladybug I immediately thought of taking a picture of it because this was a very rare moment for me to find, using the help of a macro lens I started taking pictures of this ladybug.

These two ladybugs didn't move at all when I took the picture, making it easy for me to take pictures of them from various angles, but it wasn't long before my older sister found out what I was doing, and she is someone who really hates this particular ladybug, she planned to throw this ladybug away but I asked for time to take a picture of it first.
Okay everyone, here are some pictures of this ladybug.
