The lady-bugs always appear to be gentle little. 2^1 creatures but that is because we are so big they do not attack us and because we do not watch them closely enough to see how fierce they are among plant lice. There is one dusky little lady-bug known as the Lion Whelp because he is so fierce. But it is fierce and bloody-thirsty only among plant lice. So the more we have of these beetles, the better it is for our rose bushes.
