I was brushing my teeth this morning, when I saw "her." A small dot, out of the corner of my eye, moving across the windowpane. A Ladybug! "Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home..." Don't we all think of that verse when we see one? I had to run to the basement and get the Nikon, and the Micro-Nikkor close-up lens in order to get this close. Aren't they pretty? So I watched her move around on the window and did a number of photographs. But I didn't know anything about them, really. So I went to Wikipedia: "In the United States, usually in the fall, we start seeing the ladybugs. They leave their summer feeding sites in fields, forests and yards looking for a place to spend the winter. Typically when temperatures warm to the mid 60's in the late afternoon, following a period of cooler weather, they will swarm onto or into buildings illuminated by the sun. Swarms of ladybugs fly to buildings in September through November depending on location and weather conditions. A few species are pests in North America and Europe, but they are generally considered useful insects as many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places." So now you know as much as I do about ladybugs.
I had so many Ladybugs in my office window one afternoon when the late day sunshine was streaming through that I started counting them - 32 Ladybugs!! I also looked them up on the web for more information. They appeared in that same window for @ 2 weeks then disappeared. bsk
