Little Ladies

LadyBUG - Lady bug fly away home ... NO wait !! make this your home - eat all our yucky, not welcome , not nice eating out plants bugs !
We have a tradition about this time of year to get our ladybugs and let'em loose ! They will eat the bad bugs and they hang out for a bit .. then sometimes they lay eggs and whhaalaaa - we HAVE more ladies - my fav !!



you release them at night so they don't fly and they eat and munch all night long -- yumm - yumm


It can be a bit freaky .. cause they start to crawl out of the bag and oft crawl up your hand or arm ... i swear i had ladies crawling on me all night ( but not really ... cause i bathed )

They say in one bag is 1750 of them little ladies !
As Ashlynn used to say ... " o Look mom - they got married " - it seems they get out the bag and they all just wanna get married ;-) - i still like to just call it that ...


They are so fun !! specially for little kids to watch -- it has become a family tradition . Even jaydad ventures outside to check them out .
