You know, I was actually just saying that to someone (not the creepy "red and black thing, but the lots of lady bugs thing). I must have seen several hundred crawling around the other day. I just figured that I had a nest or something. Weird!

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do, so I leave it up to you...
They taste good.
There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain
i can remember seeing footage of a 'plague' of ladybirds somewhere somewhen...
though i guess there are worse things to have plaugues of. republicans for example.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Yea, there are alot of lady bugs lately, don't mind them too much.

Ladybirds are a good thing. They eat all sorts of pests. However, there's a new breed that is black with red spots which are really evil and you should kill them if you see them, and you should also report them to your local environment agency. You see the black with red spot ones kill normal ladybirds, as well as loads of other helpful insects. Apparently they are already prevalant in America, and are spreading through 'mainland' Europe, and one of them has been found in the UK.

I really don't see many ladybugs in the city!

Aren't the massive amounts of Lady Bugs courtesy of local crop farmers? I was told they were imported from Asia (hence Asian Lady Bugs) to fight the number of parasites on crops. However, they seemed to make themselves at home. Those stupid black and red one's bite too. When I was young they never used to bite and I could always pick them up without anything like that occurring.
Is this a bad thing? I don't see any where I live, but don't people use them to eat knats or some other bug that kills rose bushes? I remember back when I lived in Long Beach lady bugs were the only insects I could catch, so I'm cool with them cus they made my childhood that much better.

Mainly Europe and Britain i do believe.And crusader is correct there is a new breed of Lady Bird which is actually mildy harmfull to humans aswell .The sting is similsr to a Bee sting .
these ladybugs could be a new breed, I am not sure, I have recently heard of more insects migrating to north america, this is possible, but they are certainly no harm to us, thats for sure, anyway, I think that its good to have the black and red back in full force!

Vancouver has been going through changes as well.
Normally in the fall, you can't leave your house and walk around without catching atleast one spider-web in the face. This year it's like there's no spidersbizarre.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen those newer lady bugs around though. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for them.
