Detour to Ladybug

That's a nice location, even with the ladybugs.

Those Asian ladybugs are one of the introduced species that....overwinter in mass. We had ladybugs here that did not overwinter, but at some point someone decided that bringing the european versions would rid the world of aphids. They didn't pay attention to the fact that they like to hang out in warm spots, such as a southern facing rock face or your home...

And around the weather stripping of my front door (inevitably ending up in the house), and in the attic, and in the ceiling at my office (which drives me crazy with them flying into the florescent light fixtures)....

I used to like ladybugs. Now we don't get along.
