Lydia the Lazy Ladybug

Lydia the Lazy Ladybug is a creative and extraordinary creature. This is a story about Lydia and how being different can sometimes work to your advantage. Ladybugs are very busy! They have a lot of things to do, like eat other bugs, and lay lots of eggs, in a very short lifespan.

Lydia is a dreamer and she would rather watch the clouds go by and listen to sounds in the world around her instead of doing what other ladybugs expect her to do. Lydia spends most of her time alone in her imaginary world.
Lydia wanders too far away one day and something happens. Eventually, she finds herself in the perfect environment with other ladybugs just like her. Lydia learns that there is a time to get your work done and a time to daydream.

Beautiful color photographs and fun filled facts about Ladybugs remind us that they are an important part of our eco-system and an excellent natural predator for aphids in your garden. Ladybugs like Lydia can often be purchased at your local nursery to release at home during the early spring.
