Night of the Living Ladybug

We let loose the bag o' bugs last night. It was awesome and I highly recommend it as a learning experience for little ones. They were lovely little bugs, very polite, and quite grateful for the meal we shared with them. This morning, they were contentedly sleeping nestled under the pepper foliage, full bellies, dreaming of aphids. Ah, perhaps I am personifying them a bit, but they certainly looked happy in their new home.

  1. So your saying I need to let ladybugs go in my lettuce-only garden? Glad to see you at the sale, and I didn't think you were cranky, but maybe you'd already had the tea. Possibly see you for park day. Hugs.

  2. The picture is from our lettuce! Yes, even if you don't have an army of evil ants to battle, get a bag of lady bugs just for fun. :)
