Invasion of the Ladybugs

Our house has been invaded by Ladybugs.  And we have no idea why.  We feel like Ladybugs are the quintessential summer insect, yet they are here--in force--and it's March 22nd and still very cold.

They love to hang out on the skylight in our bedroom.  Last night as we were going to bed a different Ladybug fell on each of us.  We think it was a coordinated attack.  But they don't bite, so we think they just want attention.

They also seem to love the power cords for our computers:

I'm here at my parents' house for Easter, and our little red-shelled friends are just as active on this end of town. Ladybugs actually aren't around much here in the summer, but they will be back in the fall.

I never kill them, because they supposedly bring good luck, but also because they stink if you squish them.

Congratulations pre-emptively on your wedding, and enjoy your honeymoon!

Thanks so much for the congrats, Allison. Glad to hear that ladybugs are everywhere, and that they're good luck. Our house is SWARMING with luck. Thanks for the warning about the smell, too -- ick.

Happy Easter to you and your family!
