Don't talk to me about ladybirds

Aimee!!! You've just reminded me that I had a dream about ladybirds last night!!   There was 3 or 4 of them on a pane of glass right beside me.

Apart from that umm, no   haven't seen a ladybird in years.

Funny you should say that, we were on the Kent coast this week and there was loads of them, my grandson even asked where they had all come from....these were orange ones........

I've seen one in about the last nine weeks I think   Mind you, my gardens 'not built' for it 

Lee Hazelwood's got one.

hahahahahaha!

DUCKY!!!   They are all gonna come for you! 

I know Ducky....sweet when posing....in flight....eeeeeek...........

Lovely insects.

Sorry but i have too tell you 3 landed on me while i was trying too have a cuppa and a cig in the garden  AND i counted 18 on the garage door  AND i had too keep going out to get them off my washing (not happy with the little bleeders) 

They're stalking me! I'm sure of it!

Aimee, I don't want to worry you, but I was bitten by one today.

DON'T GO OUTSIDE!!!!

we have loads of those little buzzy wasps as well, can't sit in the garden at all 

Seriously though, I like the little ladybirds!

I have loads in my front garden, they seem to huddle around the door waiting to come in.

Oops, I can't seem to talk about them without making them seem scary today!

I gave up anyway, i looked like i was at a tourettes (sp) party 

I've just googled ladybird pics and there are some lovely looking ones.  The black with red spots are very pretty.  There are some scary ones too though

I used too like them but when there are hoards of them landing on your head, you start standing on them  not me of course 

 I'm like that with wasps....and the flutterbies, ladybirds, hoverflys...all catch me out of the corner of my eye and send me into a PANIC!

jue i went to peg the washing out today and they was every where

went to get the washing in at 4ish and they was all over my washing

never seen so many

No, flying ants about a week ago, but other than that, no!

I remember the summer of 76..we had huge drifts of them on The Wirral, they were being shovelled away by the council and they bit you..they were floating in the swimming pools and in the sea....

we have those as well 

we've had them for about 4 day's 

My mum always say's that about 76, i was born in 74 and they had a caravan holiday in 76 and the caravan was covered in them 

when we saw them i said to hubby its a long time iv seen this many but not many butterflys this year

There's a nest indoors somewhere in the conservatory and the poor flying ants didn't realise the door was shut (how could they, they're only ants!) when they went on their propagating mission.  A lot of the little buggers ended up being caught in spiders' webs.  Still, who needs more ant nests!

It was unreal Aimee and my sister was bitten all up her legs..they crunched cos you could'nt avoid them....

ewwww my washing today was covered in them and that made me feel sick

lol i had to take the ladybirds off my washing 1by1 because i like them

and my 4 year old thinks they belong to the fairys lol

i did the same 

PMSL!! 

What 

It must be one of my earliest memories (unless there was another year like it) cos I was only 3 in 76..... but I remember being out for the day and my mum buying me an ice cream and it very quickly becoming covered in ladybirds.

Just sayin  

feels like i want to peel the sprout for dinner

*Is scared* *runs away and*    

And if you knew how long it took me to type that 

Oh go on..you and Aimee make me feel old..I was only one and remember it....
