Ladybird Beetles

The Queue: Death to Aphids!

I mean, not all ladybugs are great — the Mexican Bean Beetle, for example, is kind of a hazard to agriculture cause it’s herbivorous and eats all the crops — but in general, ladybugs/ladybirds/ladybird beetles are a friend to humanity and cute as a button on top of it.

I suppose I should admit that the part where they catch aphids and lay their eggs inside them is less awww, so adorable and more I have torn nature’s mask and found it woven of horrors, but I’m sure they’re probably grossed out by us too sometimes.
