Seven-spotted ladybug...π the best gardeners' friend Larvae look like tiny alligators! They grow quickly and shed their skin several times. When hatching, larvae immediately start feeding. They swallow up to 150 aphids a day! They also eat cochineals, cicadellas, mites, psyllles! The parasitic mushrooms that leave rust on vegetables are also one of their favorite food. Ladybugs are colorful for a reason. Their markings tell predators: "Eat something else, I taste terrible!" #Permaculture
