Lynsey made the most of the fact that Ladybirds eat blackfly!
Lynsey has had an allotment for one year – and is passionate about growing vegetables.
Lynsey gives her plot great TLC & watches her plants grow. She observes the day to day changes closely – including the arrival and rapid multipication of blackfly on her broad beans.

Next she noticed that the ladybird larvae were eating the blackfly.

So Lynsey cherished the ladybird pupae, and carried any ladybirds she found to her broad beans to help them eat, & so control, the blackfly.
