Asparagus under attack

I found a spotted asparagus beetle in my asparagus. At least I thought I did. I did a little research and now I'm pretty sure it's really just a ladybug but it can be hard to tell the difference and you have to admit it does look like it's eating the asparagus.

And this one had an especially up-to-no-good look about her.

No harm done. I was ready to go all Malathion on his raster but some last minute sanity on my part kept her alive another day.

On an unrelated topic, some good news: We've got peaches. They're a little under ripe but they're starting to look juicy and delicious.
