Solution for Aphids on Milkweed

Postby Elizabeth Mann » Wed Oct 28, 2009 3:19 pm

When squishing aphids on milkweed isn't enough try ladybugs. On my blog I posted pictures of the whole ladybug life cycle so you can learn how to identify them. You don't want to dispose of ladybug eggs by mistake. http://elizabethssecretgarden.blogspot. ... dybug.html

Ladybugs eat Monarch eggs. Japanese Ladybugs can eat a monarch caterpillar as big as a third instar.
