WHAT IS GOING ON???

[spitforspat]

I just found 20 dead ladybugs in my kitchen. I feel some impending doom or something.

Why are they here? Why are they dead?!?

[lkoenig]

maybe a sign of the apocalypse?

[fuckyourcouch]

it's one of the plagues, but god is a lady and feeling nice.

if you find a horse head in your bed, though, i'd move.

This used to happen at my parents' house in New England. Is it cold where you are? Sometimes they come in because it's warm and toasty inside. They probably die because they don't have access to food and water wherever they crawl in.

Enjoy paradise while you can.

That happens around here every year, around this time of year. I know the forrestry/agricultural service will release them en mass to help control some other kind of bug (I think?). Then we hit the right temp and they all start dying at once.

It sucks when they first release them, those fuckers bite and I did not know that until they started doing the release thing.

whoa, really? i had no clue

[spitforspat]

Is it dumb that now I want to put out food and water for the ladybugs?

....yes. Yes it is.

[lkoenig]

I had no idea ladybugs bite either, that's crazy! they seem so sweet w/their black polka dots

[fuckyourcouch]

it's a trap, lkoenig!

That's what they want you to believe!

Oh, look at me, I'm so cute! I'm red with little black polka dots and I flutter around like a butterfly!

Then, BAM! they're biting you.

Assholes!

lol

[ErinExpat]

Ladybugs also have some nasty tasting stuff on their backs, to repel birds.

Not that I've tasted them, but you know what I mean. After you're done setting out their meal, wash your hands before eating yours.

LOL

[demofea01]

The end times are upon us. Dead ladybugs en masse are a sure sign.

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago where the church was infested with them. They were in piles all over the window sills and pews. I guess the couple will have really good luck.

My aunt told me on tday that they release them to help kill off the bad bugs or some crap.

What inconsiderate wedding guests!!!

[kcr1972]

Nope wedding colors were blue and something else. The ladybugs clashed terribly. The S&B ladies would have had a cow.

The bride didn't care thank goodness.

I like ladybugs but it was seriously creepy being in a 100 yr old church in the middle of no where covered in bugs.

[Deleted]

No! Ladybugs don't bite! It's those awful Asian beetles that look a lot like ladybugs who are doing all the biting and infesting and whatnot. No more sullying the name of the noble ladybug!

[spitforspat]

OMG. They are not lady bugs. They are those Asian lady beetles!!!

They're COUNTERFEIT ladybugs!!!

[VeryViolet]

I have a bunch in my house either dead or half dead. Are the impostor ladybugs more orange than the real thing? Also, we had a big problem with stink bugs which has been better lately but I guess they decided to winter in my attic which is also where I keep my Christmas tree and decorations that I took out this weekend. It was horrible I may have cried and screamed more than once. :-| +o( +o(

[spitforspat]

Yes- they're more orange.

For some reason this makes me less hospitable towards them.

Yuck I have the fake ladybugs too. This does make me feel less bad about sucking them up with my vacuum.

[fuckyourcouch]

who knew there were decoy ladybugs? damn.

[rex]

We fucking have them everywhere. Goddamn New England.

I bet that's where mysterious bite on my stomach is from! H refuses to kill them.

Ladybugs are sneaky assholes.

[discogranny]

I am in Texas and we have this problem this time of year too and it makes me ragey against ladybugs. Even more so now that I know they are imposter ladybugs.
