Come on, guys!
Wait until you see my flowers!
Oooh!
I love your flowers!
I've been working so hard to grow the prettiest rose bushes, just like Granny Bunny's.
Oooh!
I love Granny Bunny!
She's so granny and so bunny and all at the same time!
Oh, man.
Look at all these flower buds.
Each one should bloom into a gorgeous, colourful rose!
Hey, these leaves are so pretty!
I really love all the big holes.
Oh, no!
What?!
What is it?
Did you see a worm?
Did you see a slug?!
Did you see a spider?!
Please don't be a spider!
It's not a spider, Nature Cat.
It's these holes in all my roses' leaves!
SQUEEKS: Whoa, it looks like something's been... eating them.
(Sniffing) Ugh!
They don't smell so good.
I wouldn't eat 'em.
I don't see any leaf-eaters.
I know what to do!
We can get a really close look at those leaves with my...
Magnificent Magnifying Glass!
Oh, oh, oh!
I see something!
I see something!
SQUEEKS: Whoa, look at those little guys walking around.
I bet they're making the holes.
They are!
And they're damaging my roses!
How do we stop them?!
Do not worry yourself, Daisy.
For I know exactly how to solve this problem!
Excuse me, tiny creatures!
You are ruining my friend's beautiful flowers.
Halt, immediately!
Or prepare to face... the consequences!
Ha-yah!
Chop!
Boom!
Wahoo!
Oof!
Row!
Pretty intimidating moves, eh?
I'm sure those teeny-tiny creatures are running away, frightened for their teeny-tiny lives.
They're, uh... not scared and they're not running away.
They're not afraid of me?!
Who do these little bugs think they are?!
That's it!
I'm calling the expert.
(Shutter clicking) (Dialling, phone ringing) Hello?
Hi, Granny Bunny!
Hey, Granny Bunny!
It's me!
Hal!
Daisy's friend!
You know?
I'm the, um-- I'm the dog.
Oh, hi, Hal.
I'm so happy to see you all.
Oh.
But I see you have some aphids.
Aphids?
Where?
Get them off me!
Get them off me!
And what are aphids, exactly?
Aphids are those little bugs making those holes in your roses' leaves and drinking their juices.
Oh, they are just terrible for gardens.
Oh.
What should we do, Granny Bunny?
What you need are some tiny beetles called ladybugs.
They eat aphids.
Oh, I'll text you a picture.
Oh!
Thanks, Granny Bunny!
Good luck, my sweet little Daisy!
(Phone beeping) SQUEEKS: So that's a ladybug.
I've seen those at Sunset Park!
Uh, you mean to tell me that those adorable, little, polka-dotted bugs are going to save Daisy's gardens?
Uh, no.
Sorry.
They are too cute.
Granny Bunny knows what she's doing.
We'll need a lot of ladybugs to save my roses.
Let's go!
Onward and yonward to find lady bugs!
