This event was terrific! How little I knew about ladybugs – or lady beetles. Speakers from the Lost Ladybug Project did a fantastic job at speaking to both four year olds and adults alike. I encourage everyone should visit their site at http://www.lostladybugproject.org to see how they can help save ladybugs from becoming extinct.
