Ladybug on the Hunt


Lady bugs have bright vivid colors to warn away predators - it's a message of "I taste horrible!" - and it's true, they do. Sometimes they'll get crushed during the harvest of grapes for wine, and the taste can ruin huge batches of juice.

They prey on garden pests like aphids, and so are very good to have around if you're trying to grow anything!
