2024 May 31 Ladybug Larvae

If you see these on your plants, DO NOT kill them! These are ladybug larvae and they too eat aphids, just like the adults. The ladybug larvae was all over my Milkweed today! This is a very good sign of a thriving front yard ecosystem!

They may not look as cute as adult lady beetles, but these guys are just as beneficial. No squishing!
