VJ, do you get the Ladybugs indoors during the winter? Two years ago, we must have had 75 or so. This year, we have had only a few. Keith

Lovely examples V.J. – the little creature shown last is amazing. What is it and how did you get so close?!?! And of course your little ladybug is wonderful. They are so cute – unless they build a nest in your basement and begin invading your home as they did when we lived in the northeastern US. That was not fun!!

Oh my. Ladybug invasion. Haven’t experienced that, thank goodness. The invader at my bird feeder is a black squirrel. They are rascals but entertaining.
