holy cubic crapload of ladybugs batman!

Was up in the mountains with the family walking around and found a tree damn near completely covered with ladybugs. I've never seen so damn many in one place before. It looked even cooler in motion.

I've seen this and it's awesome, I like ladybugs.

Not with so many of them though.

Cool! I like the containers of ladybugs they sell at the local fruit/plant stand.

Nuke 'em from orbit, it's the only way to make sure....

I'm sure you'll see grosser in the next few years, given your current occupation.

That's when we used to get them at the old office. Those and box elder bugs would come in the fall. It wasn't quite as many as the OPs picture, but they'd cover portions of wall, and you couldn't see paint through them.

A lady bug bit me on the hand once...not cool.

Eat them.

Two words:

Ladybug stew.

Mmmm... I just want to stomp on them. Imagine the nice crunchy feeling

We have a butterfly grove in my city. Good size grove with eucalyptus trees towering everywhere. I forget when (spring?) you can go and see 1000s of them flying around.

They smell bad. I remember seeing similar in the pacific northwest in the mid 90's. Entire attics, walls, sheds, etc.. covered in ladybugs. And the stink was horrible.

Kill it with fire.

hooray for fornication !

One of the few insects people look at and don't mind being around.

Are they really that different from spiders? I propose a name change for spiders because they get a really bad rap...

Tree was probably infested with aphids.

I didn't know they bite :Q Did you feel it at all? Do they have any sort of toxin?

We get piles like that in the winter, just inside our 2nd floor windows

There haven't been any movies featuring ladybug attacks.

There haven't been reports of people dying or losing limbs from ladybugs.

Ladybugs know their place and stay outside around here where as spiders are trespassing motherfuckers who like to crawl around in MY HOUSE! I don't kill spiders I find outside, and that's the truth.

I don't know anybody who's been bitten by a ladybug. The guy in this thread is the first I've heard of them biting at all. I know quite a few people personally that have been bitten by spiders.

There's a ton of reasons why they're different. Take your pick.

I think it's just the Asian Ladybugs, but not 100% certain.

Holy gang bang, I wonder where the lady is???

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

i put 10k ladybugs in my bosses truck once as a joke.
