LOL! I couldn't resist taking this photo today! This is one of the few "bugs" in my yard that I am HAPPY to see mating! I have tons of aphids and need plenty of ladybugs to eat them. I have seen quite a large number of ladybugs this year! They seem to be on many of my plants that are infested with aphids. It must be natures way again of balancing things out. I just wish there was a predator of Milkweed bugs. I have way too many of them on most of my milkweed plants! I guess I need to either spray it with garlic (Mark's idea) or insecticide soap (which I do not like to do) or try the bucket of death on them! lol
