An Education on Lady Bugs!

Today we are going to learn about Lady Bugs, while I was out in the big garden today I found in the hollow of a tree an enormous number of Lady Bugs. I did a little research on how they transition from the seasons and what kind of impact we can expect from them. So I went on the internet and here is what I found.

Ladybugs are more than just pretty visitors to your backyard garden. Ladybugs may seem unimportant to us, but to some people like farmers they make a big difference. Farmers heavily rely on their eating habits. For many crop growers, it is essential for ladybugs to be present. This is because crops are not bug-free; they are literally infested with insects like aphids that love to eat plants. For ladybird's this is a haven because each stay brings a full-course meal. While lady beetles' feast, farmers find an easy way of protecting their crops and making money. In this way, they have a mutual relationship. How cool is that!
