Title: Anyone recognize this critter? Post by: farmer d on June 11, 2011, 05:06:59 PM Wasn't sure if this was a baby ladybug larvae or what so I thought I would post a few picks to see if anyone recognizes if this is friend or foe.

Title: Re: Anyone recognize this critter? Post by: farmer d on June 18, 2011, 12:37:30 PM Thank you everyone for confirming what I thought that was. I love ladybugs but when you have a lot of them it is a sign that aphids are out and about. Sure glad to get the extra help in eliminating them until next spring.
