From the deep wilds of California's parks to the glimpse of a bluebird over a backyard fence, from the geologic bones of the mountains to the tiny spring wildflower in an empty lot -- California's natural worlds are everywhere, and endlessly fascinating.

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!
