Has nothing to do with farms methinks, since I live miles from the nearest one.

 

The farms up by my in-laws house unleash those things on their crops. :dunno:

 

That's crazy. I actually have no knowledge of the lady bug. Perhaps I should learn more to become more knowing of my opposition...

 

Coccinellids are beneficial to organic gardeners because most species are insectivores, consuming aphids, fruit flies, thrips, and other tiny plant-sucking insects that damage crops. In fact, their name is derived from "Beetle of Our Lady", recognising their role in saving crops from destruction. Today, they are commercially available from a variety of suppliers.

In agriculture, coccinellids, like other beetles, can find protection in beetle banks.
