Can you spot the Ladybug?

Ladybugs (aka, Ladybirds), are a favourite insect of children. Their distinctive spots and vibrant colour is a magnet for people of all ages.

From a gardener's point of view, I just love them! Not just because they're pretty, unlike a lot of other insects, but due to their voracious appetite.

Ladybugs will eat any Aphids who might otherwise ravage the plants in your garden.

So... Next time you see a Ladybug, don't forget to thank her!

I work at a hospital and on our floor we have one room that gets a lady bug infestation once or twice a year. It's the strangest thing.

I like your pretty painting...and yes can see the little lady to the left.

Nice painting. The colors are really nice. I found the lady bug. It will be a lot of fun for children to look at as well. Did you paint it?
