Ladybug vs. Aphid week continues at InsectPOD, and today the ladybugs start to get serious. This awesome picture comes in from Andrew Lin, who says that this ladybug was preening and flicking out her wings in preparation to fly away.

Andrew also notes that this ladybug actually has battle damage on both sides. That sounds like a great excuse for a twofer, so here you go:

Thanks, Andrew!

So. Cool wing action and also a battle-damage survivor. The aphids had better get serious if they want to stay in this competition.
