Mid-week Progress Post: Ladybirds

[MikeSlugDisco]

A ladybird (or ladybug). Friend of gardeners because of their fondness for eating aphids. Enemy of our ants for the same reason - they farm aphids for honeydew, so these brightly-colored beetles must be dealt with!

The ladybird is the first creature added to the game by one of our Kickstarter backers - thanks to Maggie C for the suggestion, and here's your creature in the game!

That's so cute ;D

Can it fly? That'd be cool (and really scary when it suddenly appears from the sky to massacre your lifestock).

Yes they fly, as you see in the 2nd picture - if you don't fend them off quick enough they pick up your aphids and fly away!

I guess it's time to bring in that wood ant artillery XD

Anybody thinking of making jokey out of that thing. It can fly you know.

On another note does it attack the enemy's aphids. Also, we NEED Lomechusa beetles!!!
