I like ladybugs. They are my favorite insect. Some of my friends find ladybugs to be an annoyance. They say ladybugs smell funny and they bite. I guess they do bite occasionally, and maybe they have a peculiar odor, but they are still the prettiest bug around. I find them cheery and entertaining, even in mass quantities. I have often thought about building a Ladybug House, but so far it hasn't happened. I let them live in my daughter's playhouse instead. They seem to like it there.

Do you know this nursery rhyme? It's from England:
ReplyDeleteLadybird, ladybird fly away home,
Your house is on fire and your children are gone,
All except one,
And her name is Ann,
And she hid under the baking pan.
I also love these ladybugs! Thanks for taking part in the ABC on Wednesday meme.
Wil, ABCW Team.
Oh, yes! I do know that one. As a child I thought it terribly sad.
DeleteThese photos make me smile.
There were a few ladybugs in our work cafeteria last week. Odd

ReplyDeleteAnn
Aren't they though?
DeleteLove your ladybugs! A great L word!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marie!
DeleteAs a kid I used to hold them and watch them crawl all over my hands. Love them and wasn't aware that they could bite.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture on the milkweed.
They don't bite often. I still like to let them crawl around in my hand. :)
DeleteBeautiful ladybug photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Thank you, Lea.
DeleteYou have a wonderful day too!

I agree...I think they are charming instead of creepy like other insects! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am looking forward to the return of the ladybugs. :)
DeleteSomething I've pondered for a while - we rescue ladybugs, but so many other bugs make us squirm. I spent a while this summer rescuing some from the pool we were at. All because they are pretty. I think it's an interesting reflection, because it's kind of what we/the media/society do with people. The beautiful people are forgiven much and rescued. The less so make us squirm, and we leave them to sort out their own problems.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is so very true. It is often easier to love the beautiful, but with Jesus we can love even the unlovely.
