Animal Wednesday: ladybug

Every winter ladybugs stay in hidden places in our attic to survive from the cold. In spring, when the temperatures are rising, they all come out and we have dozens of these cute little creatures on our window - trying to go out.
Me and my husband are helping them: catching the ladybugs and put them outside, where they belong.

  1. We get them here also, dozens in the house trying to go out thru closed windows.

    I always wondered how they got into the house???

  2. Yes, in the fall, there are dozens and dozens that get into the house and we help them out - there don't seem to be any here inside in the spring though, so I guess whatever ones get in our house, never make it?

    Well, this one is lovely Brigitte, I love how you captured the shiny red shell and curling leaf - wonderful!

    HAW!

  8. Wowie, beautiful! The shell is just gorgeous and perfectly shiny. This is a fantastic watercolor!

    I love finding ladybugs in the house! I almost wish I had aphids, too, so that I could feed them.

  11. This is beautiful, just beautiful. I never have that problem, thank goodness. I don't think I could survive dozens of any kind of bugs in my abode.

    Have a great one!
