Longview girds for war against messy bugs Longview officials are declaring war on aphids — which excrete a sticky “honeydew” substance on sidewalks, cars and laws — and will try several tactics this spring to obliterate the tiny bugs,
Also called plant lice and greenflies, aphids are small insects which eat plants. They belong to the super family Aphidoidea. They are one of the most destructive plant pests. They suck the juice out of the plants by piercing them. Common in the temperate regions, there are about 4,400 species belonging to 10 families. The most common family is the Aphididae. They come in different colors and sizes. The size ranges from one millimeter to ten millimeters and the colors vary from red to green to black to brown to yellow. Almost all species have a fat, pear shaped body and antennae with as many as six segments. Many species of aphids are monophagous, feeding on only one plant species.
Make sure your garden is free of ants. Ants love the “honeydew” which is the sugary sap secreted by aphids and they feed on this. Ants will thus help keep the aphids alive by feeding on their predators. Get Rid of Aphids Naturally
Natural enemies of the aphid include the ladybug and lacewing. They are very effective in killing the aphids. Ladybugs can be easily purchased from shops. Both the adult ladybugs and the larvae enjoy feeding on the aphids.
Care should be taken as to when and how these ladybugs are released.

Others say that if a man and a woman see a ladybug at the same time, they'll fall in love. And still others say that some ladybugs are luckier than others -- the deeper red their color and the more spots they have, the luckier you'll be!
Ladybugs are cute, and they can make excellent lucky symbols. Read about how to make ladybug clip art, create a cute clay pot ladybug for your computer desk, or other ladybug crafts.
