Lady bugs with their reflective exoskeletons are under the best conditions hard to expose evenly, add the direct sun and you have an even greater challenge. An equal or maybe greater challenge is a black carpenter bee in the sun, so I lean toward blocking the direct sun and rely on the flash for illumination when possible, I always shoot RAW and rely on it to help me tone down the problem areas in PP using Lightroom
