Yucca flowers and beetle sex part 2

Small correction to my previous post... the yucca flowers aren't entirely the same yellow-white cream color -- the stigma is green and the sepals have a faded red color.

Some of them are horribly infested with aphids, but they're also covered in ladybugs, doing their best to eat them up.  They're also doing their best to make some more troops for the cause!

Along with the adults are (for reasons made obvious by the above pictures) many larval ladybugs, who are also hungry for aphids.
