Blackleg is a highly fatal disease of young cattle caused by the spore forming, rod shaped, gas producing bacteria Clostridium chauvoei. The spores of the organism can live in the soil for many years. The bacteria enters the calf by ingestion and then gains entrance to the body through small punctures in the mucous membrane of the digestive tract.
Ladybugs eat aphids (green insects that live mainly on roses) and  drink water. Sometimes they consume pollen and nectar from plants  to save up for winter. Some types of laâ¦dybugs eat grass and leaves.  Usaly orange or yellow ladybugs eat nectar and pollen and drink  water and sometimes they eat grass.
Though most ladybugs eat other insects, a few species are actually herbivorous, which means that theyâll snack on leaves and can themselves be considered pests. These are less common than their beneficial brethren, however, and are generally of no concern to most gardeners.
