Over the past few weeks, even before "The Big Chill", we've noticed an increasing number of uninvited houseguests, mostly ladybeetles(bugs). This was facilitated by my leaving the back door open slightly when I was home during the warmer weather, so Charlie the cat and Yola the dog could come and go as they please. Thus, the ladybugs were able to bypass the usually strict immigration protocol. They are actually very unobtrusive, and keep to themselves in the three main sites - just trying to find a warm place to survive the winter. And really, isn't that what we all want?
Yes these cute harmless creatures on earth deserve a warm place like the rest of us. I had the same thing happen @ M.M.P.P in my garage. When I opened up the cottage this spring I came across literally hundreds in one little area that unfortunately did not survive the cold winter.
