Ants and Ladybugs

Aphids like hibiscus bushes – ladybugs like aphids – and ants like to explore everything in LA – even the walls inside ur home.

In this photo, an ant on top of the leaf, an aphid directly under the ant, and a ladybug underneath share the tip of a hibiscus leaf.

The ladybugs don’t move around very much.

The ants are always on the move, exploring every twig and leaf.

When the ants and ladybug do meet, the ants are the aggressors, and the ladybugs turtle untill the ants leave.

The ladybug always has the final say – when too many ants show up, it flys awaay!.
