I was in a bit of ladybug heaven today. I was at a friend's house and by the middle of the afternoon, there were thousands of ladybugs around her house! It was wild! We went outside and ladybugs landed all over us. The local news said the ladybug infestation was a natural occurance. :0)
Apprantly ladybugs are loved one, small angels coming to visit. Had one turn up on the day my grandmother passed away, just seconds before it landed on her pillow and flew off into the light and dissappered at 3.00 am on a cold foggy feb morning. in a highly double glazed building. uptill then I did not know about the angel story but it made me a believer. Since then they turn up in the most unusal places at really weird times of the year, and sometimes just when you need a bit of support or cheering up one will land close to you.
What a great shot with the color coordinated bug and plant. On the day my brother got married, there were thousands of them in the window at the church.
