Little Heroes
If you happen to spot a ladybug in a garden,around the home or just outdoors..
breathe the air and consider yourself lucky and blessed
their presence is a sign that the Environment or land you are in is Good..
You may try touching it as they are relatively harmless
Most ladybugs are red with black dots on their backs
but the dots may come also the yellow or white
some ladybugs wear stripes instead of dots
the black looking ladybug is also a ladybug
Ladybugs are mighty helpful to Farmers and Gardeners
they play an important part and are regarded as "GARDEN HEROES"
Ladybugs are carnivorous
not flesh as we know and have
but flesh of their kind --plant eating insects
particularly Aphids
the presence of Aphids is a "not-a-good-sign" looking insect in the farm or garden
so..
among the earliest known form and method of natural pest control
is the ladybug
Aphids are their favorires
Oh..
Ladybugs hibernate in the cold months and winter..
you might not see much of them in the coming months
its their way to survive the chills
clustering up in many numbers together and sleep the cold through
if you find them huddled in a tree bark, or some quiet shed
please... please do not disturb
allow these heroes a break
to us who advocate the Organic Way
they help triumph our purpose
as for you
they're a nice animate point of reference to show and tell
to your kids..
your freinds..
your date ..
your wife..
husband too..

Ladybugs are indeed helpful little bugs. They don't look as alien as some of the others out there, either.

Anamari,
My kids love ladybugs, and I used to love them when I was a kid. Your post helps me to appreciate them more as an adult.
