They say that it’s good luck when a ladybug lands on you. Try telling that to an aphid. Yes, though beautiful, the average ladybug eats around 5,000 aphids and other plant-eating insects over the course of its lifetime. This makes the ladybug a welcome addition to farms and gardens everywhere.

This week’s Free Image, by contributor Tiplyashin Anatoly, would also make a lovely addition to your stock photo collection. It could also bring you some luck in our 52 Pick-Up Free Image Game. So embrace the bug, grab the image and get in the game.
