Ladybug Season
Some friends and I did a few days in the Sespe Wilderness last weekend and it semmed like the Ladybugs were comming out everywhere we camped.

Re: Ladybug Season
Wow, that's pretty cool. I've never seen so many in one spot before. My first thought was..... "How do I tie a ladybug fly? " :-)

Re: Ladybug Season
I have seen this a couple times. I was on a trail crew and while we sat and ate lunch I started getting covered by hundreds of them.

Re: Ladybug Season
Back in the 90's I was on a 4 day trip in the sespe and the lady bugs where so thick that they crawled all over us as we hiked. At first it was kind of magical but then some started biting! I never knew they would bite. Then they just became very annoying. Must be a breeding area or something.
I'm no suture for my future.

Re: Ladybug Season
Great pics! I've seen those swarms a time or two. That's GOOD LUCK.
Ladybugs bite? Really? That's a new one to me...

Re: Ladybug Season
I've never had one bite me but I have heard of it before. Huel Howser did an episode where he went with a guy to catch lady bugs as they were going into hibernation. I thought it was really interesting.RooPhillip wrote: Ladybugs bite? Really? That's a new one to me...
