    Nice images, the ladybird is a little bright I think but the butterfly is perfect.

    Very nice captures. However, the lighting is harsh, and it looks like a sizable area of the beetle is blown out. Maybe add more diffusion?

    Very nice. Is that a reverse-reverse-colour Two-spot Ladybird Adelia bipunctata?

    The Two-spot has the white patches on the pronotum which other black ladybirds don't. I'm pretty certain it is Adelia punctata var sublunata.
