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.
One larvae will eat about 400 medium-size aphids during its development to the pupal stage. An adult ladybug may eat over 5,000 aphids during its lifetime (about a year). When not being used, ladybugs may be stored in the refrigerator, where they live off their body fat. (Keep the temperature between 35-45 F.) They appear almost dead in the refrigerator, but quickly become active when warmed up.
