Well the aphids are back in full force. Luckily I had also found a lady bug on one of my jala plants and another on a vine we have in our back yard. I moved both to my habanero plant and let them do their thing. I'm guessing that the guy that was originally on the jalapeno plant was full cause he walked around a bit, then started gold bricking. The other guy that came off the vine was hungry. He was booking it all over looking for those little bastards. He found one and I managed to snap a pic of him dining. The tiny screams of horror coming from the aphid was music to my ears. UnNatural may have gigantic friggin' hands, but I have super acute hearing! :lol:

Ladybug just hanging, chillin' and a little bit of illin' on my orange hab.

Ladybug just starting with an appetizer. If you look close, you can still see part of the aphid in its mouth. I can't believe how fast he ate the little thing. He must've been really hungry.

I'm going to keep my eye out for a few more lady bugs on the vine. I can use all the help I can get until my aphid brew is ready. Plus, I don't mind feeding the little guys.
 
WHOA! Looks like the little guy up top took a direct hit to the ol' armor there.

I found another ladybug and put it on my hab plant as well. I had three on there, but I think one took off. That or he's hiding somewhere under a leaf and feasting. I may move them back to the jalapeno plant tonight or tomorrow morning. Hopefully they stick around a little longer though.
 
A while back I spotted a ladybug on one of my habaneros, and man I swear it was in a hurry or something, because the thing was doing about 300mph and if it wasnt for the fact that I was looking at this plant already, I might have missed it completly.

I did not know ladybugs could move that fast, since their pray move slower than a f'in minute hand, but damn... I guess you do learn something new everyday.
 
That's what was happening after I put the ladybug on my hab plant. It was just booking it like it was on speed or something. I guess it hadn't eaten in a while and was eager to get to the feast :).

One landed on my brother when we were out in the back yard. He too was booking it around my plants after we put in on my jalapeno. I keep checking on them and they seem to be staying. Soon I'll have an unholy army of the night.... muhahahahaha! muhahHAHAHAA! MUHAHAHAHAHA!
 
My problem is too many ladyirds (ladybugs) and not enough aphids lol.

Keep finding them all over the garden but I have stopped putting them in the greenhouse as there is nothing for them to eat. My small aphid problem stopped a few months back.

I think numbers are on the rise as I have found tons this year and there were hardly any last.

I agree with them being fast. They cover the plants quick searching every leaf for food!
