Lady Bugs!

One weekend day when McKenzie and I were doing the grocery shopping we took a quick trip through the garden section to grab something and discovered a pack of lady bug hanging there on a hook.  We didn't think twice, we picked out a pack and brought it home for our garden.  It was amazing how the lady bugs just were crawling all around in the pack not even bothered that they were being sold at a store.  On the last day of school we opened up the lady bugs and set them free.  At first the garden was crawling with them but gradually they all went their separate ways.  

One of our pumpkin or zucchini leaves crawling with the lady bugs.  They were very happy to be out of the package!
  


A broader view, with them crawling over the entire patch of leaves.  They didn't really fly away, just crawled all over exploring the outside world.



Our little nature lover letting lady bugs crawl on her hands and arms.  She loved letting them go in our garden.  We will definitely be looking for another pack next year.
