A few days ago I was walking with my daughter and we passed by a garden where there were hundreds and hundreds of snails sliding down the waves and eating, there were all sizes, some as small as a drop and others bigger than an oreo cookie. There were also many ladybugs and other insects that I don't know their names, the bad thing was that at that time I didn't have my phone with me and I couldn't take pictures, 2 days later I went back with my daughter and this time with my phone to take pictures of the snails, but this time I only found 6 hidden in their shells, the ladybugs and other insects were there. I'm going to go through the garden again, wish me luck to get the hundreds of snails again π€
























This is also a ladybug. Well not quite, itβs a ladybug larvae. They look like small dragons. As the adult ladybugs they eat aphids but unlike the adults they canβt fly away, so if aphids invade your flowers or plants, ladybugs larvae might be an eco friendly alternative ππ
And this is a ladybug pupae. So you could see ladybugs in almost every stage π
wow how interesting, I didn't know anything about that, I thought they were different insects. Thanks for that information
I also learned that by accident, had a problem with aphids βeatingβ my roses at a balcony and a friend of mine advised me to get ladybugs larvae, of course, I had no idea how they looked like at that time π
Interesting, can I put ladybug larvae in any plant? I have a couple of plants that are having trouble surviving
They helped me with aphids indeed. So I would say yes, if this is what your plants are having problems with.
