For those of you that read one of my previous journal entries where I asked about a bug, you'll be familiar with a picture similar to this one:

If you look carefully the ladybug larvae on the left is empty. And you'll never guess who is handing out near by:

More ladybugs! When I was consulting with someone about the larvae, they said you usually don't see a lot of that unless you have an aphid problem. I had previously removed some aphid infested kale from the front yard but hadn't seen very many aphids anywhere else. Well, today I found their colony!

Gross, huh?! And this was only one portion of the plant. This was a kale plant in my backyard veggie garden that I was letting go to seed. It has since been put in the trash.
