I thought the contrast between the ladybug and the dill flowers and leaves was nice.
Ladybugs just love dill. This one is probably looking for a good place to lay eggs this evening. Their babies hatch into fearsome looking creatures that gobble up aphids and other plant pests. As organic gardeners, we welcome ladybugs, and plant dill as host plants for them and the swallowtail butterflies.
Howdy there Robin
Let me start out by sayen, It sure was nice of you to remember. About our friend Carl writing about ladybugs last year.
The contrast of that there ladybug and the dill flowers, sure is nice.
Well Robin thank you so much for dedicating your first lady bug of the season to me. What a fantastic Pic's. Haven't planted my garden yet but have some plants in pots ready to go in the ground and have purchased my bulk seed. Sure hope we have some good lady bugs and butterflies. Ceil always platns colorful flowers in the garden and we put out Gatorade or sugar water to draw some bee's if e need them. Take good care of that ladybug for me.

I also think the contrast is nice. It's better than nice. In fact, I have just three things to day:
She's a pretty little ladybug. I can't say I've ever seen a ladybug in the wild, but the nurseries seem to sell a lot of them in the spring time.
Thanks, everyone! I just got back from my trip, and checked today and found that ladybug is still doing fine on the dill. More ladybugs will be joining her soon!
Hi Lucky Robin... with your husband winning a trip to Hawaii AND getting a photo of the first ladybug of the season!
