Missing Wooly Bears

OK, I went on line about the ladybugs...guess what-they're NOT native, they are asian and they were introduced by our own government to control Aphids. They have no natural enemies and they drive away the native ladybugs.

Ick!!! They're back - in full force - inside and out. Today's warm weather brought them out again. I tried to sit outside for a few minutes with the pups - and they were in my hair and crawling all over me. They finally drove me back in the house. Geeze - I hate those darn things!!!

I know, we were on the deck watching the game (don't TALK to me about that game!) and they were all around. We just ignored them; if they weren't in our wine, it was OK!

Asian ladybugs are back here too, due to the warm weather. I haven't been bit by one this year yet, but then they're haven't been as many. Also, I saw a stink bug today, a brown one.
