Ladybug Resting on a Hollyhock Blossom

Hollyhock blossoms feature large, wide petals that provide resting surfaces for beneficial garden insects like ladybugs after morning dew forms. A small spotted ladybug sits on a soft pink petal, positioned near a glistening water drop on the flower stem. Garden flowers offer shelter and food sources for small beetles throughout warm summer days.

Fun Facts About Ladybugs and Hollyhocks

Ladybugs are capable of tucking their legs and head tightly under their hard wing covers to protect themselves when stationary on leaves or petals. Hollyhocks are tall biennials or perennials that produce imposing flower spikes capable of reaching over eight feet in height. Their broad flowers open sequentially along main stems, attracting pollinators all season long.

  • Ladybug head and legs: shiny solid black
