#MiteMonday: As I watched this aphid laden with parasitic larval mites, one small light-coloured one climbed off the aphid and ran away over the leaf. The aphid, disturbed by me handling the leaf, began walking away and shed a few more mites. So the mites seem ready to detach as needed at any stage, which is interesting I think.
Also does this count as a parasite on a parasite? :thonking:

The petals may have fallen during the night, but the ants’ aphid farm continues.

#DailyMitePic: These aphids on a dill plant are being parasitized by larval parasitengone mites *and* also being hunted by an adult _Allothrombium_ sumo mite, elegantly illustrating the typical Parasitengona lifestyle.
It's possible the little ones are larval _Allothrombium_. I may collect some and see if I can rear them to adulthood so they can be identified.

I noticed these ants being busy tending their little aphid farm on one of my nastriums.
I love watching their symbiosis happening right in front of me.In case you’re curoius: https://www.thoughtco.com/aphid-herding-ants-1968237

Look what landed on my arm today. While working on my balcony garden, I felt this on my arm, at first I thought it's worm, but then I saw it.
It's a baby praying mantis.
It's so tiny (4-6mm) and so fragile. Put it on one my plants that has a few aphids on it so it can have a fiest.
I feel so lucky. They are really rare here.

Another year, another new aphid in town. On the weekend I found a cluster of black aphids feeding on the flower buds of a Japanese aralia in Christchurch, NZ.
They match the description of ivy aphids, a Eurasian native aphid that specialises on ivy and related plants in the Araliaceae family.
The species was first spotted in Auckland in 2015 (on #iNaturalist), and mine is the second record of the species from NZ's South Island. The first was an observation by Libby Stevens in Christchurch in October.
It's worth keeping an eye out for. It would be great if it helped knock back the competitiveness of English ivy, which is a weed here. More worryingly, it's also known overseas to feed on *Schefflera* species, and NZ's endemic patē, seven finger, is *Schefflera digitata*. NZ's whaupaku, five-finger, and horoeka, lancewood, are also in the Araliaceae, so please keep an eye out for any black aphids feeding on these.

#CompanionPlanting with #Beans
by Barbara Pleasant, 26 April 2018
"Fast to mature and easy to grow, beans have several characteristics that make them good partners for other vegetables. They tolerate partial shade, and most beans have tiny hooked hairs on their leaves that entrap #aphids and other small insects. Beans can fix nitrogen taken from the air, so they make fewer demands on the soil's nutrient supply compared to other vegetables. Beans also deter weeds with their dense growth both above and below the ground.
How you use beans as companion plants depends on what you hope to accomplish. High-rise walls of pole beans can be used to provide shade for neighbors that suffer in strong summer sun, while low-growing bush beans can be used as weed-suppressing ground covers between rows of potatoes.
Whether they grow on vines or bushes, you will need good access to beans that are harvested as green or snap beans, which need to be picked every other day when the crop is ready. Dry beans, which are left on the plants until the pods dry to brown, can simply be left to grow, so they are a great option for Native American-inspired Three Sisters plantings comprised of corn, beans, and long-vined winter squash or pumpkins."
