Winner!!!

Thank you all for your comments. I'll share with you how I did this. Take a leaf and plant it in sand or styrofoam inside a container like tupperware. Go to your local nursery that carries ladybird beetles and buy a small container. Put the container in the frig for a few minutes to keep the bugs cool - then, dump a bunch of them into the tupperware container near the leaf and wait to see if any start climbing up it.

WOW!!! This is absolutely fantastic!! We are sure to see this in the winner's circle. Thanks for the "how to" info.

Oh my, this was shot in a Styrofoam container? Your ingenuity is brilliant. I can't wait to try this out.
