SAT ON top of a Brazilian turtle’s head, this little ladybird looks content as he studies his environment from a new height.

This moment was caught on camera by Indonesian photographer Monica Anantyowati, 42, after she spotted the brave ladybird looking for a free ride on this turtle near her home in Malang.
