This bee is starting to really annoy me! It just keeps buzzing around outside my window for days now. I'm not sure what's attracting it, but it's always out there.

Luckily I have a screen in my window, but I am sorely tempted to spray him with bug killer, just to get rid of the bastard. I'm sick of hearing that annoying "bzzz" all day.

awww...big ol' fuzzy bee.

just as long as it doesn't fly in your house u should be cool, nancy. it keeps comin back? think it's in love with u...

rofl!!! Gosh, I hope not. I sure don't love it.

I like ladybirds! We used to pick them up on our fingers and let them crawl on our hands!

Lleena said:

Me too

Apples..Do you call them Ladybirds or Ladybugs in the U.S? I'm not sure.

I love listening to sounds of their buzz...

When I see ladybugs, I pick them up and put them in my garden... That is where they belong..

Ladybugs...but, I knew what you meant. For the past few years we've had swarms of asian ladybugs in the summers here in Michigan. A friend of mine and her husband went to their cottage and they said it was like walking on popcorn kernels because there were so many of them
But, I still think they're cute

Lady Bug Song:

Fly, Ladybug, Fly

Fly, Ladybug, Fly

Fly over here, Fly over there.

They fly up high and they fly down low,

Around and around and around they go,

They fly so fast and they fly so slow

Oh, fly ladybugs fly.

Thankyou Apples!!!

That is a cute poem Sag!!

yay, mama!!!



and yay, ladybugs!!

awww, they're in luv.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

They never did that on my hand!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Those don't look like Lady Bugs to me -- their bodies are too long (lady bugs are more round)...I know there are some insects that are marked -- for safety -- to look like Lady Bugs.

hmmm...

Maybe Lady Bugs and Lady Birds are two different things?

I remember a few summers ago when there were ladybugs all over the front area of the condo where I live. Every time I went outside, I would get some on my clothes. Some of the ladybugs even got inside and would hang around the front door. LOL - but I don't mind ladybugs, I love them, they are definitely cuter than bumblebees. In fact, when I was little, we used to call ladybugs with no spots on them "manbugs".

This is how it describes that image:

Ladybird Beetle (Coccinella novemnotata)

These familiar beetles are easily recognized by their red color and spotted markings. The number and location of the spots on a Ladybird Beetle depend on the particular species. Most Ladybird Beetles are very beneficial in gardens; they aid in the controlling of garden pests by eating other insects--such as aphids--that cause harm to plants.


I don't know..

Eureka! I KNOW! I'll ask Stanley Applebaum!

Lleena said:

I think Lady Bugs and Lady Birds are the same, according to your definition, Lleena. I know there are different types of Lady Bugs/Lady Birds.

applekisses said:

Good idea, applekisses. He'll know the answer.

If you find a ladybug in your house
it is said to bring you good luck!
I love ladybugs... my kids room and bathroom
are done in ladybugs and flowers.

As for bumble bees... they are cute long
as they are far away from me! I got stung by one
of those suckers and it wasnt nice!!!

Yes, a friend once told me that finding a ladybug was good luck, and to kill one was bad luck. I guess ladybugs give off an awful smell when you step on them. Poor things, I would never think of killing one, they are just too darn cute.

I remember the round ones moreso than these! They looked very cute!
