It's really exciting once you acquire the eye to recognize the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Keep up the good work!

Happy gardening Dono

cool I love ladybirds! but what do their larva look like and do they do any damage? I got something small munching on the lettuces could it be them? they leave the leaves holey and with lines in?
kind regards

Jem218 now be careful both of my neighbors and the surrounding county's have had BIG problems this year with Japanese beetles Which are similar but are NOT ladybugs. The Jap beetles are BAD. Haven't really looked into it much since I haven't had a problem yet. So Google them up and see what you have.
