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!
Currently training for the Chicago Marathon in October 2015. Enjoy my running diary. Sidenote:I was the first mayor in the United states to write an everyday blog, although I am no longer a mayor this is that blog.
