I’m lucky enough to have a small secret place I visit where these beautiful creatures seem to congregate and or breed. I love visiting and watching them in their thousands as they sneak in and out of small gaps and caverns. An amazing act of nature.

She might be happy, but these bugs are costing me a fortune in upcoming university fees. And now she wants another… sobs Here goes then…

This ladybug is so lazy, she decided to hitch-hike on the back of the butterfly, and just to be safe she´s wearing a helmet. ;-) / The sky and the water is made with Photoshop filters, the rest is from 4 different photos I´ve taken.

I love ladybirds – ladybeetles – ladybugs, whatever you wish to call them. Sadly, they seem to be quite sparse in our gardens this year so finding one (let alone two) is a great thrill for me for these days :o) Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /

A lot of ‘ladies’ came out of hiding this weekend with the beautiful, warm temperatures we had. I searched high & low almost all summer looking for ladybirds and found just a few. This weekend made up for it, however, as they were EVERYWHERE! / / Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

Another shot from the secret little place where these beautiful ladybirds seem to congregate and hide down in little caverns, caves and gaps. The background glow is more of them further down the tunnel!

A ladybug climbs out on a limb in search of aphids and or any other tiny edible insects. This particular Ladybug and or also known as a Ladybird, is a Southern Ladybug ( Harmonia axyridris), that is not native to Canada. It is an Asian Ladybug that was introduced in the 1920’s by entomologists who figured more kinds of Ladybugs would mean more goodness. They were originally introduced to Washington State, Delaware and Georgia and have spread to Canada. They were originally introduced, because they consume aphids that eat crops and garden plants. This species of Ladybug is about 5 mm long. They have become notorious for their habit in invading buildings by the hundreds of thousands in preparation for the winter hibernation. I see thousands on the exterior of our house, as I believe they hibernate up in our attic. I don’t mind and I actually welcome their presence, because I know how great a job they do in keeping the aphid populations down in my own flower gardens!

I don’t know if this is factual, fictional, or a bit of each, but the most commonly circulated story about how the ladybug got its name is quite interesting. According to that account, quite a long time ago in Europe, a small farming village was experiencing unprecedented problems with insects that kept devouring the crops. Faced with certain ruin, the peasants fell to their knees and began to beg the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to send help in their calamity. Their simple faith was soon rewarded. The farmers began to notice a change in the crops. The dying foliage started to revitalize and greenness once again appeared on the landscape. Something was definitely reversing the devastation. As they looked closer, the farmers noticed small red bugs with black dots festooning their tiny concave, shell-like, bodies. Like soldiers called in to battle, they were eating the culprits—destructive aphids. “Our Lady’s bugs, Our Lady’s beetles,” the grateful villagers proclaimed. Eventually, as the small insects became a familiar part of their lives, the people shortened their name to ladybugs, the term by which they are still known today and perhaps one of the reasons why they are so well-loved. Whatever the case, ladybugs are the allies of farmers; they are tiny soldiers that patrol the fields making sure there will be food on the table for everyone.
