Nite nite, . . don't let a ladybirds bite.

Re: Ladybirds

Ladybugs come in the house when it gets cold in Autumn; they can creep trough very tiny cracks or crevices, and hibernate. They don't eat then. As the days lengthen they tend to wake and are attracted to the sun/warmth at windows; that's when you notice them. They are harmless and excellent predators on aphids

This is a not very good pic I took in Autumn. I noticed Leia was watching something intently ... it was a ladybug crawling over the paper.

Thanks, Nero. I put that one outside.

Re: Ladybirds

Lovely pic Dandysmom-she looks fascinated with that ladybird....

Re: Ladybirds

She'd never seen anything like that before! She normally doesn't bother anything smaller than mice, but it really caught her eye as it meandered slowly along.
