Oh to be a lady bug eating a buffet of aphids, screwing on leaf, and then taking a nap. Living the dream.

They are making more workers, give them a little privacy. Maybe throw on some Barry White.

I go out every day and rage smush aphids on my roses. I’m confident that it basically makes no difference whatsoever, but it makes me feel better, so yeah.

Congrats. The babies are more voracious.

One time I was getting out of my car and saw a ladybug climbing on my door handle. I asked it if it wanted a job and it flew away immediately. Sometimes they just don’t want to work. Though maybe these ones are giving you long term coverage

Can you hear “Careless Whisper” in the background?
I’ve got 3 different couples on the same plant. Nowhere else. It’s their favorite one to do it on. I’m happy. They’re eating good. Spider mites and thrips here. Thank god I have cilantro, and ladybugs now.

This is a good thing, because their larva are far more voracious predators. So you get a little ladybug splooge in your salad… that’s just a bonus.
They’re making backup for a serious infestation. Ladybug larvae are voracious predators.

[Edit to add fun fact: the kids will eat more aphids than the adults do. Let ’em make whoopie!]

You’re the one trying to overwork them, they are just trying to increase the number of employees to get the job done.

They are merely increasing staffing to meet demands.

At least somebody can afford to have kids in this economy. A cozy leaf with views of the whole garden and aphids on the grill every weekend. Living the dream!
When the mood hits you just have to give in to your primal urges

I had ladybugs in my aphid infested plants but what worked to get them knocked way down was to spray them off with a pump sprayer filled with water.

Your friends have assessed the situation and are now creating backup. Adults are great but you want the larvae to help clean those aphids up quick!

That’s them “calling in reinforcements.”
Baby ladybug larvae are known to (each) eat hundreds of aphids during their 2 to 3 weeks of development. Good luck!

They are gonna do major work! I’m battling aphids on my asian pear. I found three ladybugs and found 6 ladybug larva shortly after and they have pretty much cleared out the infestation on the lower part of the tree in a matter of days. They are now going to town on the leaves up top now. Good luck!

He’s full, and taking a break from eating,
it’s a marathon, not a sprint..
Have a little fun, make a little love, eat aphids tonight.
Their babies eat more aphids than the adults. They are doing exactly what they should be doing.
Just making reinforcements!
Please put NSFW tag on, rude.
