Too much of a good thing


©2009 Garrito

One ladybug (or ladybird, to some) is adorable. A thousand ladybugs? Creepier than a convention of Furries. Apparently, this is known as overwintering, when they huddle together in a protected place (sort of like Furries at a convention). I don't know...when a single ladybug lands on me I consider myself lucky, but when I came across this mob I considered myself lucky to get away with my life.

I do have one gnawing question: when two ladybugs mate, does that make them lesbians?

Ok, that is just the creepiest thing I've ever seen. That's a plague.

Lesbean ladybugs...HA!

Seriously. Stephen King: if you're paying attention, here's your next idea.

Ooh, if you see two ladybugs mating, let me know. I'll watch . . .
