💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🪲🎨 Jan van Kessel the Elder was a Flemish artist who painted scientifically accurate insects on small #copper plates during the 17th century.

This National Gallery of Art #video uses his style as inspiration for #crafting intricate clay #insects. You can follow the steps to build detailed miniature #sculptures using clay, wire, and crepe paper.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐝🌱 While we often think of farmers, #cows, and #chickens, some of the most important workers on a #farm are the ones we rarely see.

Host Victoria Wu takes us into the #soil at Common Good City Farm to meet the pollinators, predators, and recyclers that keep our #food systems running. It’s a great look at how #bees, #ladybugs, and #worms contribute to soil #health.

It's that time of the year! And now I've been transporting #AsianLadyBeetles from the upstairs (where kitty spends a lot of her time), to the downstairs where I grow plants because ALB's eat #Aphids! Now, of course, they could crowd out #Ladybugs if they get out of control, so I won't be saving every single one of them. But still...

Multicolored Asian lady beetles

Quick facts

- The multicolored Asian lady beetle has become a nuisance in Minnesota.
- They cluster around buildings in large numbers during fall in search of protected sites for the winter
- Control measures should only be used to prevent entry of Asian lady beetles indoors.
- Multicolored Asian lady beetle and other lady beetle species feed on aphids and other soft-bodied insects that can damage plants in agricultural crops, gardens and landscapes.
- These are beneficial insects to farmers and gardeners.

Asian lady beetle as a household pest

Multicolored Asian lady beetles can be a nuisance when they occur in large numbers inside homes.

- They do not infest wood, destroy fabrics, eat food or damage other property.
- These lady beetles cannot sting and do not carry disease.

Some concerns with multicolored Asian lady beetles are:

- Some can bite hard enough to break human skin, causing minor, short-lived discomfort. These bites happen when the beetles are searching for moisture or food.
- They can secrete a strong-smelling yellowish liquid from the joints of their legs. This liquid can stain light-colored surfaces.
- Exposure to dead lady beetles in buildings can cause allergic reactions in some people"

[Not mentioned: They can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested!]
