No aphids are safe in you garden with these bugs around. Someone once told me that Lady Bugs are good luck. Seems to me a lot of things are supposed to bring you good luck. I suppose it is okay to believe, why not? One thing is for certain whenever I come across a Lady Bug I treat her with respect. I will even go to great lengths to rescue one trapped indoors.
Time was at a premium for todays #NatureDoodlewash Neocolor II Caran D’Ache and Holdbein Artists Water Color on Canson Mix Media 7”x10” paper Original art by Susan Feniak

So cute….it always makes me smile to see one, but I do find it strange that people are happy for a ladybird to walk over them, but run a mile for most other bugs.

Yes, it is odd. Perhaps it’s because Ladybugs are so small and non intrusive, cute goes a long way. 🙂 Thank you Rebecca

I was always told ladybugs were good luck too, especially if one lands on you. I say, take all the good luck that comes your way! (K)

I used to love ladybugs until the Asian ones took over. Native ladybugs are really lovely; the Asian ones bite, emit a stench, and want to hibernate in your house over winter. LOL! Your looks like the beautiful native ones though…phew! 😉

Wow, thanks for the info Teresa. Are you referring to stink bugs? Are they from the same family!? Yuck!

We get stink bugs here in the midwest, too, but, no, the Asian ladybugs look almost exactly like the native ones (the red is a bit more orange than red sometimes). One of my kids did a science report on them once. I forget if they’re in the same genus or family. :}

You even got the face in! Great detail. It’s only the name that keeps me from getting the heebee jeebees when I see Lady Bugs. After all, they are just smaller more colorful versions of ugly beetles. 😳
