a gardener's dilemma I never encountered until today. I've always wished for ladybugs to come and eat the aphids from my roses & milkweed. But now I need to pull up all the old bean plants (neglected the entire month of Sept) but I can't b/c it's a ladybug colony! Bad and good, both at once! 🌱

the gardener spotted two ladybugs on these relatively healthy green bean plant leaves and cooed, how lovely, so glad to see you little darlings!
then the gardener began to notice more & more little red ladybugs on the green relatively healthy but definitely neglected bean plants.
to her horror, the gardener spotted two ladybugs getting it on under her very nose.  In the middle of the afternoon!
finally, the gardener began shaking ladybugs off the worst of the neglected bean plants and allowing the ladybugs to shift to ground work.  Here, three ladybugs try to figure out what to do now that they're on bare earth.
