Do you recognize this common beneficial insect? This is an immature ladybug. Thousands of
ladybugs are currently on the prowl for aphids and other garden pests in yards and gardens throughout our area.
Like most beneficial insects,
ladybugs are very sensitive to insecticides. Minimizing
insecticide use in your yard will help protect beneficial
insects and allow nature to bring balance to pest populations.
