We moved a few pepper and chili plants into our dining room a few weeks ago. Unfortunately they became infested with tiny little bugs. These tiny critters hatched leaving a pile of mess and were quickly replaced by a heap of new eggs. What to do?
A secret and deadly weapon to tiny bugs was discovered in the back garden and was given residency in our house. This little ladybird/ladybug stayed with us for a few weeks. I would be working on the computer and become aware of someone watching me and there he was on the curtain appearing to read blogs and facebook status.
Last weekend we decided that we needed to give up on all but one of the chili and and pepper plants. The ladybird took up residence on a great chili plant and all was well.
I was quite taken a back when I arrived at work on Tuesday morning to find him or her on the backseat of my car. Now I had a big dilemma. Root around the staff car park for suitable feeding material for him and find a box to keep him in or knowing that I had a pile of work waiting, realise that it was time to say "goodbye" and release him into the new, and potentially dangerous, world of the grass between the school car park and playground.
Roam in peace, little bug and thank you for your great service to our family.
