Dogs have sheep to tend to, ants have aphids.
They hug them and love them and squeeze them and call them George and get nectar droplets for their trouble.
All this going on in the backyard on one little plant!
Hoverfly with aphids
Whatever the hell this thing is
And everybody’s favorite beetle…
And, yes, everything has dog hair on it at my house. No one gets a pass!
The hellbeast is a baby ladybug! Ferocious predators.
