puffingfish Posted October 25, 2006 Anyone else found that Lady Bugs love cacti? I thought they might be laying eggs but couldn't find any evidence...I think they are harmless eough. I kind of like the idea that my plants are thriving in a lively ecosystem now that they are in the ground:) I have included a few photos of my new cacti garden as well, planted in September these guys are now pupping like mad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puffingfish Posted October 25, 2006 That's ok. I quite liked your thread. After I thought about it - looking at that spider has shifted something in the way I see them. My normal reaction is fear and the severe creepies but I guess they are just projecting what they need to to survive. I can learn to accept that, it might just take a little longer than the lady bugs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puffingfish Posted October 26, 2006 nice little spot for your cact you got there :D Yeah thanks, I'm really happy I could get them into the ground and the spot I have is great for drainage and sunlight. They really seem to be enjoying spreading out thier roots It's not much of a collection but I'm slowly working on it As for the yellow bugs - yeah, slightly unusual but I have seen them before (I think), or maybe it's something you ate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
