Default Lady Bugs Attacking !

I got bit by a lady bug.

They didn't used to bite.

And there didn't used to be so many of them.

They're not too bad in our current house, but in the first house we owned, a few towns west of here, they were a real nuisance.

They seemed to like to hang out in their dozens behind boxes or under clothes on shelves in closets. You'd pick up a box and see scores of them in there....and they'd constantly fly about the house. I never got bit by one though...

In the house we have now, there seems to be lots of western conifer seed bugs. They come inside somehow during the fall and I'll see maybe one or two a month all winter long as it crawls or flies about.

Timely. We've had quite the Asian Lady Beetle infestation at my office and were talking about it over lunch today. We'll get the occasional one at the house, but I'd gladly take a colony of bitin' beetles over a single wolf spider.

These are not Lady Bugs! They are their evil twin Harlot Bugs. These imposters have come here to ruin the reputation of our fine American Lady Bugs! A fie on them!

Why are these Asian bugs and fish attacking us?

They are building bubble machines to try to keep the fish out of Kentucky Lake. It's not gonna work.

The only way I know to stop them is to tell Cajuns they are good to eat....
