The light is just a tad too strong, but nice DOF and setup.

interesting shot, because the ladybug seems out of place amongst the sand and seashells

I like this, the DOF is good... and the bug is perfectly exposed to the background. Bravo 9

What is a lady bug doing on the beach??

Pretty set-up, different than seeing a ladybug on a flower or leaf which is the typical pose. Good clarity, lighting might be a bit harsh.
