m.snay--They are definitely not as photogenic! But they are quite attractive in person--they have a cute way of crawling around, in search of bugs to eat--the ones you DONT want on your flowers! Thanks for stopping by!
pat--Most people haven't seen them either--but now that you know what they look like, you might!
gautami--I'm glad to show you part of the small but fabulous insect world--I know you appreciate these things!
anonymous canine friend--Thanks, you are a true and loyal gentleman! Some guys could take a lesson from you--if you know what I mean? Yes, I think you have found an appropriate target for attack dog practice--be my guest!
Bird--I don't know how warm it has to be for ladybugs and their babies to be out--but birds can get the jump on the insects! Seems early to have aphids this time of year--how warm is it where you are?
dear firey hearted bird i will soon repost the CD's but the blog is a part of a portfolio right now and needs to stay lean while i am being considered for a gig....when they come back they'll be posted to the K9P blog and live forever in perpetual homage.
but ive been thinking of a photochoppy for you....when i return to the beautiful south i will get rot on it.
firebird - hahahaha - my daughter and i saw the ballet the other week - firebird - which quite made me think of you! (the firebird was absolutely stunning - you'd have been pleased!)
it's still a bit cold here - 50s at night and 60s in the day. just a few pesky aphids. but i hate 'em, hate 'em, hate em! they want to suck my potato vine dry. my sweet, beautiful vine that trails so loverly over the balcony wall and also stretches it's delicate tendrils toward the wicker chair, framing it just a bit, ust a bit.
but i shan't let those wretched aphids suck my sweet vine dry. i shall prevail!
Bird--I love that ballet, too! It's an inspiration...
It's easy to kill aphids with a soapy water bath--and/or a blast of water-- Needs to be repeated if they grow back again, as they usually do--but it doesn't hurt the plants-- good luck!

Baby ladybugs are ... um ... not as attractive as adult ladybugs.
Never seen a baby ladybug before. You do post some interesting photographs!

are ladybug babies about now?
i need some on my potato vine -which seems to be a favorite for aphids.
today, a very small bird with a yellow breast and hood popped by and hung out in the potato vine. i hope she was eating aphids.

A bug only a mother could love... ;-)
Interesting, but yikes! I have to go along with the consensus: let's here it for full grown ladybugs!
mb, paul--
Yes, they're an acquired taste visually--but they kinda grow on you...
