Lady bug eggs & asparagus aphids found on asparagus ferns

Bright orange eggs drew me to look closer at the asparagus ferns along the NE wall.  Turns out there are a bunch of aphids!!!!  Not totally infesting the entire plant, but, certainly hundreds/thousands in particular areas.

Cool though that lady bug eggs were laid there!  I have been seeing several lady bugs in the garden including on the asparagus.  Hadn't noticed the aphids until now.

Brought these two ferns with eggs and aphids inside, in a jar with cheese cloth cover.
