Find a ladybug in your garden? Consider it a good sign! Ladybugs can mean fewer problems from pests, especially aphids. There are over 5,000 different types of ladybugs in a variety of different colors and patterns across the United States. Although they come in many different types, the most familiar in the United States is the seven-spotted ladybug. 🐞 Fun fact: an adult ladybug can consume hundreds of aphids in a day and thousands in its lifetime, making it the model garden companion. If you see a ladybug in your garden, be sure to snap a picture and tag us in it on social media. #AHSgardening #AmericanHorticulturalSociety #ladybugs #gardeningtips #funfact
