They love to eat mosquitoes, beetles, flies, dragonflies, and moths. Attracting Purple Martins to your backyard: Purple martins are best known for their communal nesting in human built apartment houses. The best way to attract purple martins is to put up a purple martin house in your yard. Mount your martin houses 15 to 20 feet above ground, near a permanent water source for best results. In the west, martins typically shun man made homes in favor of old woodpecker holes in dead trees.

The life cycle of the ladybug is between four to six weeks. In the spring the adults lay up to three hundred eggs in an aphid colony. The eggs hatch in two to five days. The newly hatched larvae feed on aphids for up to three weeks, and then they enter the pupa stage. The adult ladybug emerges about a week later. However, they usually do not have their spots for their first 24 hours of adulthood. So, if you catch one in your schoolyard without spots, you may have found a brand new adult. There may be as many as six generations of ladybugs hatched in a year.
