I love this one. It has artistic context, and is a nice change from the garish bugs eyeballs in the rest of ours :)

Congrats on a solid placement with what I thought was the most interesting and fun to view shot in the challenge, and there were a lot of very good entries, so good for you for finding these gals. Nothing in the challenge description required it to be a macro shot, this fits the challenge perfectly.

Oh man I never thought this photo would do so well! And I definitely didn't think I would be achieving my goal of getting a seven on dpc with it either, but hey no complaints, even though I did get a 1 which I think is lame :(
Thank you everyone for the great comments and votes. This was taken In Yosemite National Park, CA. And Im not sure if these are Ladybugs or Asian Beetles. And I have no idea if this is a unusual occurrence or something regular, but just thought it was awesome and had to capture it.

What a super neat shot, and now I know where it is! :) Neat! So is this a regular occurrence at this time of year, or something unusual that you managed to catch?

Oh, and you also get a :)
