Asian ladybeetle (Harmonia axyridis) on daffodil

The Backyard Garden is alive with the golden hues of masses of daffodils. Seems that there are more than I can ever recall seeing before (?). Many insects were nectaring on them including numbers of Halictids, ladybeetles, andrenid bees, nomada bees, and even a crab spider sitting and waiting....!

We started with 50 Prince Alberts in fall 2010. Last fall (2011) we planted 50 more, and we've just mapped the clumps so that we can fill in gaps this fall.
