    They are your friends steve.

    A few weeks back there were 8 ladybugs one of my kid's bedroom ceiling. I looked like an idiot jumping up and down swatting them, but the kids loved it.
    I love to turn you on

    Their proper names are Ladybird Beetles, so that's where the "Ladybird" comes from. They eat aphids, so yes, they're great to have around the garden too!

    I thought at first this was going to be a thread about Rodney Dangerfield's last movie. Whew!
    We have a book for Holden called The Grouchy Ladybug. The one is grouchy because he doesn't want to share the aphids with the other one and goes on to try to take on every animal in town. lol


    Steve, why were you swatting at them? They don't do any harm.

    i love ladybugs. i had one fly into my car and was sittting on the dashboard last month, and then it happened against a week later! i figured that had to be good :)

    my sis gave me this cute necklace that has a small ceramic tile wiht a ladybug handpainted on it, she has a matching one too. she figured that way even if one doesn't land on us we still have one anyway lol

    if i find a ladybug in my house, i will always attempt
    to catch it and put it back outside.

    i could never squish them, they are way too cute.
    Nice shirt.
