Day 298: ladybugs

Hello again,
This post is for Thursday because I was unable to post. I hurt my back pretty good and wasn't sitting at the computer much. I would like to apologize for my absence. For this post I am thankful for ladybugs. This year aphids are a big problem and ladybugs are a great natural defense against them. I learned that the larvae can eat up to 5000 aphids. That is a huge amount! I have not seen as many ladybugs as I have hoped to see but I am thankful for the ladybugs that are out there eating aphids. Not only are they useful but they are cute too. :)
