Coccinellidaes and Mantodeas fight to save the victory garden from alien invaders

 

In a galaxy far far away lives an ancient civilization of Aphidoidea.  Aphidoidea are vicious warriors whose purpose in life is to eat and take control of all others with their mind controlling goo.  The Aphidoidea are from a planetary nebula called NGC 5189, more commonly known as the Spiral Planetary Nebula, located 3,000 light years away in the Musca constellation.  No one knows when the Aphidoideas first came to this planet but scientists have found Aphidoidea fossils dating back hundreds of years.

The date was August 14th and I saw my first Aphidoidea space ship hovering over the cornfield.  The ship hovered for a moment and then disappeared into the waving yellow tassels atop the corn stalks.  As I approached the field I became overwhelmed by the site of the Aphidoidea army covering the corn stalks with a dark blanket of bodies and translucent goo.  This goo is not visible to the naked eye but signs of the mind controlling solution attracts most Formicidae who are a common ally to the Aphidoidea clan.

 
I immediately had to call in reinforcements.  I knew I needed an army that could withstand the high numbers of Aphidoideas and would be resistant to the sweet smell of their psychotropic liquid.  After much searching and with a little training from the mighty general Chewy Nho and his first lieutenant Mooch I was able to form a 1500+ army of Coccinellidaes and Mantodeas.  The Coccinellidaes are ready to fight and will form the first wave of the attack.  The Mantodea have chosen their fiercest ninja warriors to participate in the second wave of battle.  The Mantodea are cunning and stealth-like in their attack methods.  While the Coccinellidaes distract the Aphidoidea, the Mantodea will conceal two egg sacks within the victory garden.  After a few days, the ninja Mantodea warriors will emerge from the egg sacks and will form our second wave of attack.  The Aphidoidea won't know what hit them.

My general and his first lieutenant are now warming up for the battle and will soon lead the charge against the alien invaders from Musca.  Wish my army luck!
