Don't kill that strange bug on your plants! Maybe it's a ladybug larva that naturally vacuums up garden pests like aphids. Trisha Shirey shows to how recognize ladybugs (lady beetles) in all cycles of life: eggs, larva, pupa, and adult. Watch a larva chomp down aphids on cue. Find out how to encourage these beneficial insects to stick around in your garden.

  • ..maybe this is just me.. but I've never seen a black and orange crocodile.

  • @DemiGod251 They find a sheltered spot and huddle together in often giant amounts to survive the winter. It's quite an amazing sight when you happen to stumble on them during that time.

  • @KLRU hey do you know what lady bugs do during the winter or Cold area's? I am moving to Alaska but i Personally love Lady bugs and Gardening. Any tips please?

  • This video is very detailed and it has a lot of very relevant and interesting footage. I do not understand why it has so many dislikes.

  • My dad saw the larvae and he said it was a dangerous insect that rotted your skin if it bit you. It was that crocodile looking critter. Now I feel sad. It was like 8 years ago, haha.
