Ladybugs!

I will maybe have to deal with these little buggers every 2 or 3 years but when I do I hit em with ladybuge, they eat aphids like fat kids eating McNuggets!
Or me eating nuggets....

Second pic looks like a bull in a china store. Just chargin' 'em, stompin' 'em, messin' 'em the hell up!

Yes I took these, they were on all our stuff in our commercial greenhouse so we order ladybugs by the bag of thousands and set them free.

Shot with either my Canon 5DMK2 or 7D and 100MM Macro lens.

Email me your address and I will send you large files if you want them..

Large files? I want your camera/s and lens!

LOL...I've been good about keeping aphids away, until we got a really hot spell. Then went out and got ferti-lome 3-way. Works ok...won't kill ladies either...of which I shall purchase a few thousand in about an hour.

Bought 1500 ladybugs, put them on aphid infested plants, they flew away. Bought malathion, no more aphids.
