Jeez...I almost became a Ladybug murderer... |
|
So this beeyouteeful Ladybug landed on me tonight, which is good luck, and I tried to get her to flit off of me, and D'oh, she landed in my Bloody Mary! I fished her out, and she stumbled around drunkenly for a bit and crawled into the wicker chair. I was worried that she would die, b/c that's bad luck, but lo and behold, I just saw her crawling around and hanging out on the wicker chair. I think she's still drying out her wings.
Whew! :D

beautiful and wonderful eaters of aphids. I'm glad that she made it. I sang that song to her, but she didn't want to budge. Musta been my red sweatshirt :)

6. I'm like Ted Bundy to Ladybugs |
|
One year my dorm room became so infested that I had to walk around with a flashlight because thousands of ladybugs were covering my windows and lamps blocking out all light. If you squish them they leave a blue liquid that's hard to clean. I don't know if it's true but I've heard that killing them gives off a scent that attracts more. One person on my floor had a dirt devil she let everyone borrow and we sucked them all up.
Yeah, I'm gonna have enough bad luck to last a few lifetimes.

7. Those were probably not the "lucky" ladybugs. |
|
The ones that swarm in houses are those Asian imports that have kind of taken over everyone's nooks and crannies when the weather turns cooler. At least I read or heard that somewhere.... :shrug:

8. Y'know, when ants get drunk... they can only turn left. |
|
So they'll go around in circles. First time I saw it, I just thought maybe they were disoriented and following their own pheremone trail or something. A few years later I found out it's because they can only turn left when drunk. :)
And they don't even signal...
