Wow, you sure can get some great pictures! Will you turn them loose in the greenhouse?

Thanks! I enjoy taking them. After I finished shooting, I placed them on a hibiscus in the greenhouse.

X,
I was going to ask, do you purchase the eggs and raise them? This year is my first year in gardening, I learned from DG to recognize ladybugs' lavaes. Since I was able to allow them to thrive in my garden, and helped me to keep my aphids' population down. Your posting is informative to others. I was hoping you'd keep it "open" so others can visit and learn to differentiate b/w bad/good bugs in our garden.

Thanks! I'd like to find a ladybug in the process of laying them and then shoot a series from start to finish.
