Takako 🐀

I was trimming the comfrey at my community garden plot this morning, and realized one of the cut parts had a metamorphosing ladybug! So I took some home to let the bug morph.

So far, it’s the year of the ladybug for me. My plants need them for sure!

Cut comfrey flowers in a glass vase on the edge of the kitchen counter by the door. The door is open to let the light in the room, the storm door is closed but has big windows. You can see the plants outside. I circled where the metamorphosing ladybug is under one of the leaves.
Closeup of the metamorphosing ladybug, firmly attached to the underside of a comfrey leaf. You can see the intricate vein structure. I find it beautiful.

Here’s my community garden plot. We added some organic soil to the beds, so hopefully it’ll be productive. I picked a head of red Romane lettuce and a yellow banana chili pepper today!

My community garden plot —a wide shot taken from a corner. I have a 2ft wire fabric fence around the plot, which cottontails have no problem hopping over. I don’t mind, I accept the challenge! haha… The grassy paths are in front, and some tall trees in the distance in the background. It was a hot and sunny day, thus the photo looks a bit overexposed.

Yesterday, I noticed the empty shell (skin?) of the ladybug on underside of the comfrey leaf. It rained all day, and I couldn’t find the bug.

I spotted the bug by the kitchen door this afternoon! The bug joyfully flew upward from my hand as soon as I stepped outside.

Closeup of the empty shell of the ladybug on the underside of the comfrey leaf. It’s so neatly intact. It’s orange and black like the ladybug. You can also see the veins of the comfrey leaf, and how hairy it is.
