Aphid Eaters

Had aphids infest my tomatoes and green beans last week. Held off on the poison until the last minute hoping I wouldn't have to use it but if it comes to that or loosing a crop that feeds my family, poisoning the bugs wins. Imagine my surprise when I went out today to start spraying and saw a cluster (cloud,flock, gaggle?lol) of lady bugs munching away at the aphids all over my garden....... Poison got put away yay!
