Organic Beer from the Ground Up
I was chatting with Andy from Rooftop Brew the other morning and told him my hop plant was covered with aphids this year. Turns out he had just released some ladybugs on his plant.

Andy describes them as alligator-like.
This morning I popped outside to check on their progress as they devour the aphids and noticed two unusual ones. I think they’re albino. Here’s one of ‘em, along with a “larva of color” in the background.
