Three little ladybugs, landing in my shop! I had a lot of fun with the Azya orbigera especially even though my hand cramped up from painting all those little hairs -- it's a lot different from stippling. Lost a little of the pep in my step this weekend from fatigue but I'm hoping to catch back up with all the various species I'm working on quickly. In the meantime, enjoy these round guys!

Banana for scale.
