Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey


Convergent Lady Beetles

Convergent Lady Beetles (Hippodamia convergens) are common throughout North America and I see them often here. They are welcome garden visitors because they eat aphids.

The photo above is of a pair in my Texas Mountain Laurel tree, presumably in the process of making new Convergent Lady Beetles.

And here’s another one I saw a few days earlier on an unidentified plant. This is the photo I used to get an iNaturalist identification.

About Me

Nature Lover.
Inquisitive Observer.
Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
