I was out gardening like I planned. I managed to weed four of our eight gardens, so very happy. Then yesterday arvo it started raining and is still again today.......so my plants are happy too. I found my four watermelon plants in the weed/vegi garden. A couple of them are flowering already. So maybe some watermelons in the not too distant future.
As I was putting the hose away from having the sprinklers on ...... yes I brought the rain on by watering my garden. lol. Anyways, I noticed these white fuzzy bugs and thinking they just had to be bad for plant I squished a few. Well last night I decided to google and.............
Now I am a little sad as those white fuzzy things are apparently the larvae of a ladybird (ladybug, ladybeetle). Big time oops!!! I have never thought before how a ladybird came to be. I think I assumed there were eggs laid they hatched as ladybirds. If you would like to see a few more ladybirds and learn a little more here is a great site all about the ladybirds in the Brisbane area of Australia.
