Convergent Lady Beetles (Hippodamia convergens)




I'm always glad to see these little fellas in the backyard. They seemed to like to migrate from Sunflower crown to Sunflower crown, as they feast on the colonies of aphids that tend to appear with the warm, wet weather. The ants in the backyard "farm" the aphids, as far as I can tell, and there is an uneasy truce between the ladybugs, ants and aphids about who gets to settle where.

But it works.
