Bad aphid year, thank goodness for lady bugs.  Is seems that one lady bug could eat hundreds of aphids in a day.

I remember seeing these insects as a kid and not knowing what they were, they always interested me when I saw them, I thought they looked like tiny lizards. Then not so long ago, thanks to the internet, I found out that they were actually Ladybugs, or Ladybirds as we call them in the UK, in the larvae stage. My mind was blown! I had no idea Ladybugs started off like this. This summer I found some large ones feasting on the thousands of Aphids on my Buddleja davidii 'Black Knight' shrub, so I decided to try to film one with my new Nikon 105 2.8 Macro lens on the Nikon Z6.
