Nice find and capture!  The orange color of both the flower and the lady bug are pleasingly brilliant.

I much prefer the British name for this useful little creature which is a "Lady Bird", much nicer!

Me too Mike.

Never the less a nice photo; the similarity of the colours of the insect and the flower make for great camouflage for the Lady Bird.
