Lady Bug Hunting
Ladybug, ladybug! Fly away home.
Your house is on fire
and your children all gone.
All except one, and that’s little Ann,
for she has crept under the frying pan. (tickle child under arm)
Heard that one as a child more than a few times and repeated it to my boy a time or two. It instantly came to my mind when I saw this little guy hunting on top of this huge (relatively) Yellow Yarrow head.
These guys are little tanks moving about and are happy as a clam if they have their head buried in a crack. Their butt exposed to the world for all to see. The armor must work though. Boy they eat aphids like they are a delicacy. This is a wild one but I bring in thousands for my aquaponic green house to control unwanted pests.
Location: Bliss DInoaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana borderlands.
