Garden to Table

 During our Garden to Table session with Ms. Best today, the Huarakau group was in the garden.  We were learning about the different kinds of ladybirds, their life cycle, and the important role they play in our gardens.

We learned that the harlequin ladybird is an introduced species and is considered a pest.   

With some great investigating skills, the group was able to find three examples of the four different stages of a ladybird's life cycle. 

 

 This is the harlequin ladybird!
