    Why are they called lady bugs?

    Very interesting! I am afraid I killed a couple larve, before it occurred to me to "google" them. They love my plum tree, because the aphids love my plum tree!

    One Thing Leads To Another

    I have always found it best to keep the crate in my bedroom, with me. This way, if there is an issue- I can hear it. It takes a big piece of my bedroom-but I think it is worth it. I remember years ago reading that if you keep the crate with you in bedroom- it counts as "time spent" with your...
