A few of our Arugula plants (and some others also) are currently under attack by white flies.

Luckily our little helpers have arrived!

I guaranteed them that our garden is a "top-notch", 5 star, nursery, perfect to start a ladybug family!

Here is another ladybug that I manually transplanted on one of our Sunflowers.

The thought behind transplanting it was "if it has a pest, it will start it's family on the Sunflower".

I don't know if it works like that. Do you know?
Let me know in the comments.

Here is another ladybug that I manually transplanted on one of our Tomato plants. I thought that maybe I could place ladybugs on plants that I would like to preventive protect from white flies and aphids (which exist in our garden).
The thought behind transplanting it was "if the tomato plant is affected, the ladybugs will start a family on the Tomato plant".

I don't know if it works like that but it is worth trying as an experiment. The ladybug that I transplanted on the Sunflower was, after about 2 hours, still there so...

Do you know?
