What a cute post. The kids are adorable and looked so intrigued. I am surprised that the ladybugs stayed. You must have a magical garden. Heartwarming start to the day. Thanks. Donna

Darling post. It reminded me of my own children when they were little. You know, they aren’t into gardening, BUT they are still into the lady beetles, praying mantises and spiders. Perhaps I did something right.

I loved little Ana and that her brother was going to get the ladybug out of her ear if needed.

Borrowed children are the best kind. What a fabulous day in your garden!

Great post. Reminds me of when my little girl was little.

I was actually looking for some info on swarms of Lady bugs. I’m not sure if they were mating or what. I came across the most incredible sight awhile back where bushes on the entire countryside were completely covered in orange ladybugs. I’ll keep looking. I just wanted to say…great post, great site. I’ll be back.

Thanks.

What an awesome tribute to the benefits of vegetable gardening in the front yard. You would have never had such cute helpers if you had been cloistered in the back.

This was so fun and cute! The boys act so tough, but they were THRILLED to play with the ladybugs and have their pics taken! And little Ana is SUCH a doll – that smile kills me every time I see her.

The ladybugs have stayed around – I see them on the bronze fennel and all over the roses. I’m hoping for a lot of little ladybug lions soon…

Yes, I bought the bugs! I haven’t needed too for a few years, but with all the new edibles in my garden this year I felt I better bump up the population.

Megan, you should! It’s fun! I think I’m going to go back to doing it once a year…

Thanks laisseraller – that was very informative! Ladybugs are serious business…

Michelle, it WAS – I wanted to pinch some cute cheeks, but I stayed cool. Don’t want to embarrass the kids!

Laura, it is SO FUN – the bugs crawl everywhere and the kids get so loud and goofy – I love it! Even though there are enough ladybugs … wait. Can there EVER be ENOUGH ladybugs? Thanks!!!
