The Beasts are here

I was about to start using chemical to take care of these aphids that attack my chilli plant. I started to notice them a few days ago, but since I have things to do, then I decided to ignore them, and get back to them when I have the chance.

yesterday morning when I check on the plant again, with my intention to check on them before applying any chemical pesticide, I noticed that some beasts has arrive.

The useful beasts that is trying to protect my plant, while also getting the needed proteins for its growth.

There beasts are the early stage of the lady bug, and they are ferocious predators that will eat all the aphids in no time. I believe by tomorrow, these bad aphids will soon be history and already filling up the belly of these baby lady bug.

AS you can see below the aphids are wuite a lot, and they also have the black ants as their slaves who usually protected them against any predator, but I also think that the lady bug baby is not really care about the ants, as they continue to devour the aphids.

I think the ants should stand back and let the lady bug do its job, but I'm not sure if this job is a good or not so good one :)
