Voracious carnivore

Hard to imagine isn't it? My back yard is full of them, which also means it's full of aphids too...

Nice photo Baz, at least your Roses are safe.

Thanks Ric. I don't much care for the roses, I am picking the little beggars out of my teeth everytime I have a salad though....:whistle:

I wish they would stay off the vegies!

Lovely capture Baz. Beautiful little creatures they are. Having seen one in my garden for ages??:screwy:

Grow some vegies Vincent, You won't get to eat them, but you will have plenty of wildlife.....:doh:

Lovely Ladybird likes your leaves

had stacks of aphids at the begining of spring, now they are all but gone...

a mixture of water, detergent and eucalyptus oil gets rid of them pretty good :)

nice shot btw... i have never seen a ladybird eat a aphid before but i have seen a nymph rip into a few!

The ABC has a study going on about Ladybirds at the moment Barry. take some more pics as they are trying to find out the distribution of the different species. I think there is only one that is carnivorous.
