A ladybird is pictured at the water's edge in this picture taken by Dutch photographer Leon Baas. Leon has developed his own style of brightly coloured macro photography over eight years. He has snapped ants, snails, water beetles, crickets and damselflies - all beautifully lit in his distinctive style

"The shot of the flying ladybird was a once in a lifetime photograph. I am very happy with it and do not think it will ever happen again," says Leon

Leon says he researches the creatures he hopes to photograph before leaving home so he can try to predict their behaviour and anticipate the best shots. A tiny ant looks towards Leon's camera

ANOTHER SUPERSIZED KIDS......

You should see this 3-year-old boy. He is so young, and so super-sized that some nurseries ban him for being a "health hazard" to other children. While most average kids of this age are only about two stone, Xiao Hao’s weight is 5 times heavier. According to some medics, this child might have a growth hormone disorder. Other people believe he is just a victim of China's "Little Emperor" syndrome as parents in this country are allowed only one child. And their relatives spoil rotten babies.

CHINESE CABBAGE ARTWORK.....SIMPLY SUPERB

I've always been amazed by artists’ imagination. They can look at a simple vegetable and see the potential to create something of it and next thing you know, there is a simple but beautiful work of art in front of you.
