LADYBIRD by Sandy Stewart
A Ladybird deep inside a squash flower, stands on the stamen and spreads its wings before flying out of the deep yellow flower.
The Asian Ladybird was possibly established in North America as the result of introductions into the United States in an attempt to control the spread of aphids. Whatever the source, in the last two decades, this insect has spread throughout the United States and Canada and has been a prominent factor in controlling aphid populations.
