[Ag-eq] Aphids

[Jewel]

Ladybirds, or what you call Ladybugs I think!  now don't you agree with me in thinking that Ladybird 
is a much nicer name for such a lovely little person?" but, and here comes my favourite phrase of 
tortology: be that as it may, these charming little creatures are the aphids worst nightmare.
referring to the ladybird:  have you noticed that, even people who usually go into a paroxysm of 
fear when presented with an insect, are not afraid of ladybirds, and how could anyone be, when one 
only has to whisper that "her house is on fire and her children are alone" to have her flying to 
their rescue!

Good luck.
