It's Official# They're Back

[tiny dancer]

I was outside racking leaves, and those bugs that look like Ladybugs are back this fall. I remember last year they got inside my house. Don't pick them up because they do bite.

ladybugs bite?

They look like ladybugs but are not the some species. I think they got into this country from somewhere in Southeast Asia.

Yeah - they are a little bit more orange than lady bugs but they are the same size and have spots, can fly a bit - but they have strong pinchers that feel like a sting if you piss them off. I squish them or shoo them outside - evil nasty things

Nasty, biting ladybugs.

One more reason not to live in the East.

There's "ladybugs" in the Midwest too. Last year they were terrible.
