Today it appeared that all the hard work we have done all year is starting to pay off. We are finding more and more critters in the garden. In the past few week beneficial insects making our garden their home. This ladybug was keeping itself busy on one of our many sunflowers in the Butterfly Waystation. Ladybugs are classified in the class Insecta, the order coleoptera, the family of coccinellidae, they are also known as Ladybird beetles. The name Ladybird is from the English and has been used since medieval times. There are more than 400 species of ladybugs. So we will leave our identification as a ladybug, what a daunting task to figure out what kind of ladybug.
