Lady bugs are great insects that protect the plants from any other harmful insects. Harmful insects can eat on the produce and transmit viruses to the plants. We are grateful for our cute little friends that eats them. Some lady bugs will have their meals individually or in a mass. According to Buglogical, "A single ladybug may consume as many as 5,000 aphids in its lifetime." So we give thanks to our ladybugs that give us an extra hand to protect our land.
