The garden in summer: flowers, aphids, ladybirds and flying ant day, sentence 2

In summer each mother gives birth to live babies without needing a father, and each baby already has its own baby growing inside, so a few aphids become thousands in days.

Who acts: mother, baby, own baby, few aphids · What happens: give, need, have, grow, become · To what, where: birth, live babies, father, own baby, thousands
