Ladybugs and aphids.

[Trent Watts]

One of the plants in my garden had 20 or more Seven-spotted Ladybugs crawling on it. On closer inspection I noticed hundreds of plump aphids as well. The carnage was intriguing to watch. The ladybugs were chomping down as they moved up the plant stalk.

Plump little aphids.

A mouthful of aphid with others crawling on the ladybug.

No time to wash your face before you eat another aphid.

Just because it was so much fun to take pics of these ladybugs.

Looks like quite the feast for the ladybugs. Very nice macro work.

That's really interesting. It makes for a really great series Trent! So many bugs on 1 plant. That's crazy.
