Do fungus eating ladybird beetles only live in Australia?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883576149835739996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-19575822630851905612017-01-12T17:31:28.641+11:002017-01-12T17:31:28.641+11:00Lovely to know that you are enjoying your summer h...Lovely to know that you are enjoying your summer heat as we get colder and colder!

Good for you for allowing nature to take its course. Last winter I had quite a few lady beetles in the house, which I promptly placed on my lemon tree in the sunroom. They helped to keep the scab, whiteflies, and aphids at bay. I haven't seen many lady beetles this year, which means I will have to treat the lemon tree with organic neem oil/detergent. Enjoy your warm summer days. :)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-21673369199761607792017-01-12T03:19:38.787+11:002017-01-12T03:19:38.787+11:00Last night we had a combo of snow, sleet, and free...Last night we had a combo of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Winter. Bleh! Yet, I know daffodils, tulips, and other pretties are slumbing underneath the frozen ground waiting for Spring. Our summers in the Pocono Mtns. of Pennsylvania are rather short, but so worth the wait!
