Today we went out to check the status of the ladybugs. We found some, but they weren’t as numerous as we hoped. We tried to move some that we found to places where we knew there were aphids.

A couple started munching away, but at some point, they ended up flying away. One flew away and literally hooked up with another in mid-air! upon further searching, we found quite a few that were “doing it”! Hopefully, they’ll lay plenty of eggs so we can keep this little ecosystem going.
