Some 30 years ago or so, we had a plague (can you call it a plague if they are ‘good’ insects?) of ladybugs in my home town. I came home one day to see the front of the house, the path, the door, almost covered. It was impossible to walk up the path without crunching the poor things, though I did try. In their many thousands, they’re not quite as cute though.
Ladybugs can be a problem when they try to get into your house to spend the winter months. They don’t like being cold. Sounds like poor Jon has a fear of insects in general. Wait until he sees a Praying Mantis. lol
ladybugs are my good luck sign!!! I travel with a little stuffed ladybug everytime I take a trip. In Spanish they are called Catarinas and thats a good luck name !!!!
My granddaughter won’t go down her slide if there are even tiny bugs on it, and her boy cousins were afraid of dead bugs. It’s a scary world out there I guess. ;)

Since when are ladybugs a garden problem? Aphids (which ladybugs destroy) are a garden problem.

The only bad thing about lady bugs is that theyleave an unpleasant smell on your hand if yousqueeze them.

I found a snake in a backyard one time. Definitely did not have the same reaction Jon is having right now.

Somewhat a nonsequitor for a farm raised boy!

Don’t worry, Jon. The big black- and- yellow garden spiders will eat the ladybugs.

There are some bugs that look like the helpful LadyBug and they bite and smell like dirt. Lady bugs do not bite nor do they stink.

@opentomeetO_O!Ladybugs are my favorite insect, although seeing them filling up my house, yard, food, or bedroom would REALLY scare me!!
