FIND A LADYBUG IN YOUR GARDEN?

Consider it a good sign as ladybugs can mean fewer problems from pests, especially the menacing aphids. Aphids feed on plant tissues and transmit viruses β luckily, an adult ladybug may consume hundreds of aphids a day and thousands in its lifetime. Did you know there are actually over 5,000 different types of ladybugs? And, theyβre not even bugs but rather beetles such as cicadas, aphids and Ringo Star β with two of those being members of the scientific order Hemiptera and the other a 1960βs rock icon. Although they come in many different colors and patterns, the most familiar in the United States is the seven-spotted ladybug. A ladybug can secrete a fluid from its legs when threatened that is oily and tastes terrible. Oh, and yes, there are male ladybugs, too, but weβre not judging β¦ you do you ladybug men.
