A couple weekends ago as I was waiting for Dad to move hay bales around to
accommodate the calves moving into the barn, I was distracted by the
lady bugs on the fence posts in the barn lot.

| Eggs (upper right) and a freshly molted lady bug. I touched it and it was still a little sticky! |

| I think the larva look like little alligators. The first time I saw them in my garden, I was afraid they were some kind of pest. Luckily, I looked up the bugs online before I squished any of them! |
