Debbien’s Question
I know you’re not a bug/pest identity site, but I have as wondering if you might know what this bug might be? It is on my daughter’s hope and eating the aphids. Thanks. If you can’t help, that’s okay.

Happy to help with insect ID and happy to say that the tiny alligator-looking insect in the photo is a ladybug larvae. These are good guys in the garden so lucky you and don\'t spray an insecticide as you want to encourage lady bugs in all their life stages. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
