Lady Bugs Everywhere

This poor spider kept running after each ladybug that landed but then walked away disgusted when his future lunch turned out to be a stinky ol' ladybug.


When I was having my breakfast this morning I looked out the trailer window and saw something swarming over the meadow by the bee hive. I felt a little panic. But I also could see there was no rhyme or reason to their flight so I went out to see what was going on. There were ladybugs were everywhere!


Apparently ladybugs find a place to hibernate by flying wildly around until they find just the right place. Either that or they were having one really good hootenanny in the sun before winter comes.

  1. Every fall they come into our house by the dozens and end up dying everywhere. Right now there is a lady bug on the lampshade next to me.

  2. Hi Robin! I have had the same experience so I did a little research on ladybugs and apparently they need a higher humidity than the average house can provide. I have thought about spritzing the clusters in the window with water over the winter but... instead I sweep them up and toss them outside instructing them to "find a better place before it's too cold" I guess that's my version of "ladybug ladybug, fly away home"
