I would be happy to share it in the name of education. I took the photo, and will send it along with all the particulars. If you would like some lady beetles as well, I am happy to oblige, I think there's one or two swimming in my tea right now and several others in my hair. :) Welcome, Mary.

I was wondering if we could use you photo of the multicolored LB crawing on your window in an outreach bulletin illustrating the negative impacts of this insect? If so could you send me an origional of the image and let us know who to credit the photo to? This bulletin will be used for educational purposes and no profit will be made. Thanks! Mary.

Aphids rode in on the herbs I overwinter indoors, despite a good wash and careful inspection. They killed a few plants before I noticed (since when do they like thyme and oregano?!?), and now I'm washing them off the basil cuttings every few days. They're diminishing, but it's been a long battle. Almost gave up on all the kitchen plants, at one point. I wish I had a ladybug infestation.
