Any gardener knows that aphids can be a horrible invasion to any plant. We all have our tricks for getting rid of these pesky annoyances. One of my favorite natural remedies is the cute, tiny predator.....the Ladybug!
They love to eat these things. And I love to let them!
We had been taking our own measures to be rid of the aphids, and then one night a ladybug came to our rescue. Sure this was more than the single guy could handle on his own. However, one thing was for sure.....he was getting his fill. It actually grew into a regular occurrence. Each evening after I came home from work, I would walk out onto the balcony to find one lil guy running around our chives. So since we bought a new camera and I had a generous subject, I decided to play and take pics.
Enjoy these lovely shots taken with our Canon Rebel T6i. Using a macro lens of +4. (Please forgive me as I'm far from a camera professional and am still learning all the settings) All photos are unfiltered and unedited.
Thanks Ladybug! And thank you Steemit folks for taking the time to stop by!
