We’ve been outnumbered by ladybugs.
Fall has brought an infestation of Asian Lady Beetles looking for the perfect spot for winter hibernation. The cute little red and black polka-dotted beetles have swarmed our property and seem especially attracted to our light-colored house. We’ve been assured that they still symbolize good luck even numbering in the thousands. Sadly, many have been squashed around the site and many more encased in the house structure as we seal their fate while laying red cedar shingles.
No other insect could make me feel such remorse.
Ladybug ladybug fly away home,
Your house in on fire and your children are gone,
All except one and that’s little Ann,
For she crept under the frying pan.
Remember?
