New hires (cannot get good help)

While working on the plants on Saturday, I noticed that the Photinias were mildly infested with aphids. General gardening knowledge says that ladybugs can help with aphids and such.

So, I "recruited" some new help to take care of the aphids - I bought a batch of ladybugs at the local garden store. Last night, I released them over the photinias so that they could start work inthe morning.

Here they are... at work... or so I think...


Taking a closer look, I noticed that they are not all working.
