    Hi there,
    Does anyone know what type of bug this is and if it is considered a beneficial or a problem?

    If it's a problem , anyone know how i treat it?

    It's all over my Broad (Fava) Beans..........

    Many Thx

    Utterly Fantastic ;-)

    That bag of Lady Bugs I bought last year with a healthy dose of scepticism obviously paid dividends this year!

    Thanks for the reply......I'm off to talk nicely to them...............

    BTW.....anything I need to do for them in order for them to develop fully? Or should I just let nature take it's merry course?
