POPSLadyBug Lore At one time, doctors would mash up ladybugs and put them in a cavity to cure a toothache. Some people believe that the number of spots on a ladybug indicates how many children you will have If you find a ladybug in your house in the winter you will have good luck.

POPSLadyBug Invasion I was one of those getting dive-bombed yesterday. Awesome! They kept playing buzz the tower. It was great being able to show the kiddos. They thought it was neat when a few landed on us. I counted about 7 different species on the front of our home. I couldn't couldn't keep count of how many there were total, but there was a lot.

POPS Good Guys Tip The Scale In Manhattan It sounds like a horror movie, however, in this real life story the red-and-black bugs have been unleashed on the 80-acre grounds of one of New York's biggest apartment complexes with a mission: eat pests infesting the neatly landscaped property. The ladybugs from Bozeman, Montana, arrived at the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village complex on Manhattan's East Side on Thursday afternoon, packed in boxes shipped by a natural gardening company. Vinje buys them from ladybug collectors working the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Oregon, California and Montana. In Bozeman, he keeps them alive in large refrigerators where the temperature is kept to about 35 degrees. They go "dormant" at that temperature, using up their fat stores without eating anything, and staying alive for about five months, Vinje said.

POPSAsian Lady bug invasion The asian varieties come in more than just red with black spots, sometimes it's the reverse or even completely black. They are just as good at pest control as our native ladys but they are an invasive species that are crowding out our native species.

POPSStinky Ladybugs Ruined My Wine Of all the insects, I always thought ladybugs were beneficial to farmers. One farmers cure for aphids is another farmers problem apparently. Blood from their leg sockets? Yuk.
