This is for @nev: a tiny ladybug (much smaller than the usual sort I see) I think it's Hudsonian Ladybird Mulsantina hudsonica that found its way into a bucket of water I had for watering plants. I fished it out with a dandelion leaf + set it on a bench. Then I quickly switched to micro lens + returned for pics luckily it hadn't moved off yet + I got the bonus of seeing it had a rider! (not sure if the ladybug would consider that a bonus!)

Paracorymbia stragulata (fam. Cerambycidae)

[ES] Como la otra foto que subí de esta especie me salió regular, subo esta otra que me quedó mejor. Me he fijado en que la coloración es variable: las antenas pueden ser completamente negras o alternar artejos anaranjados y otros negros, los fémures y tibias pueden ser negros o rojos y la mancha negra de los élitros puede tener una extensión variable desde la parte final hacia el comienzo de los élitros.
Estaba experimentando a usar siempre ISO 1600 para poder cerrar mucho el diafragma y tener mayor profundidad de campo. Esta foto claramente quedó oscura, aunque tampoco se podía exponer mucho más con la flor blanca.

[EN] I posted another photo of this species before, but this one is better. I've realized the colours of this species vary from one individiual to another: antennae can be fully black or show alternating segments in red and black, femora and tibiae can be red or black and the black on the elytra can be bigger or smaller.
I was trying to always use an ISO 1600 to be able to close the diaphragma a lot, so I could have more deep of field. This photo clearly turned out dark, but I couldn't increase the exposition much because of the white flower.
