Ladybugs

I can't get over how many ladybugs we saw at our house yesterday. We were outside with Auntie Murr in the afternoon and we noticed a bunch of ladybugs on the side of our house. I started counting and there were at least 30. By the time Brian got home, there were hundreds! Literally! It was pretty cool. Brian did some googling and found that they were probably trying to soak up any heat they can get now that the cooler Fall weather is here (our house gets a lot of sun and it was a beautiful day yesterday). A friend of mine said they might not have been ladybugs but another type of beetle, but they did look like ladybugs. Most of them took off as the sun went down but there were still a few stragglers out there this morning!

This is just a small section of  our house. They were covering one side of it!
