| There are good ladybirds, and bad ladybirds; just like there is good cholesterol, and bad cholesterol. But, be damned if I can remember which is which. From sight. I know that good ladybirds eat aphids, and mould. I had dozens on my cauliflowers last year, but they were yellow. I know that bad ladybirds devour vegies, at a similar rate to snails, and green caterpillars from the white cabbage-moth. But, this ladybird is red, Is it friend, or foe? |
The useful version I think.
ReplyDeleteFriend, I would say.
ReplyDeleteDunno. But ladybirds of every colour enchant me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely friend.
ReplyDeleteThose ones eat the aphids.
ReplyDeleteYes, I reckon he is an aphid-eater, and therefore, friend.
