Mini Eco System
Found a little ecosystem of insects on a large Burdock plant. It consisted mostly of an abundance of aphids. On closer look there was also a few larva of some sort present (possibly aphideaters), an aphid wasp, mummy aphids, and sidewalk mites. There was a noticeable lack of lady beetles/lady beetle nymphs in this location considering I saw them out today (and over the past week) in good numbers.
Interesting things noticed; three sidewalk mites gathering around an aphid and seeming to fight over it.
One or two lone mites located (seemingly dead) amongst the masses of aphids.
