Now, now, no PS magic, no digital fakery in the presence of the insects. 
I'm not good enough to fake the shadows under them without making them 
look like cutouts, at least not yet.  ;-)

If you look here, you will also see the yellowish one peeking over the 
top of the upper left petal 
<http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Glads/pages/11-1059.htm>. The ladybug 
flew away (without any nursery rhyme encouragement) and the other 
crawled around back. I thought I might catch it silhouetted up on the 
edge of the petal, but wasn't quick enough.

I did only say no PS magic in their presence. I did indeed select them 
and adjust their brightness relative to their surroundings and shadows. 
Here are my first shot, "Omigod, that's way underexposed.", second, 
"Don't overexpose those white petals and lose the detail in them. Oops, 
still a little under, but I caught the bugs, Wow!" and the adjusted shot 
from PS <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Combo.jpg>.
