The Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) and The Seven-spotted ladybug beetle

My short words

A ladybug was on the dandelion flower which was blooming in the spring sunlight.
Somehow it looks comfortable.

Memo

This type of dandelion is one of the naturalized plant in Japan. There will be many dandelion flowers in spring (March, April, June) if you come to Japan.
