This is Amy's amaryllis. Most people keep amaryllis for just one year. I'm way too
Today the ladybug is still there. If you check the scale you will see that they have had the juice sucked right out of them. The residue wiped right off the leaf. Hope the ladybug sticks around to finish off any new ones that hatch. Amy's amaryllis gets to stay! I think this will be its seventh summer.

I do the same thing with my Meyer Lemon tree! It works! It's actually fun to watch the Lady Beetles move up and down the branches and in and out of the leaves. I can't even find any scale insects on the tree now. Plus, I they seem to eat whiteflies, too. And I know they eat aphids. I don't mind having a few Lady Beetles in the house: I just put them on my plants! :)
