Originally posted by Peter Zack I like the first and 4th ones. Numer 4 is great. I really like the look and colour of the leaf with the red lady bug in contrst. The last is an egg cluster or food of some sort? I can't tell what that is.
Peter those are a ton of Aphids... they are the favorite food of Ladybugs and Ladybug Larve... Just a few on a rose bush can clean it up in a few days.
The ladybug larva have even a bigger appetite...
Great shots Gary.... I also have not seen that many in one spot before. It was our best year in a long time for ladybugs, but we did not have any Katydids up here this year. Our roses were covered in katydid nymphs last year but I have seen none yet this year, very strange.
I miss these guys.... did you have many of these this year?
