Yeah... It's been like 15c+ for the past few days in NOVEMBER! So they are EVERYWHERE. My cousin hates them cause the orange ones bite, I say BS since I just had like 50 in my hand which I promply threw out the door.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

You can thank Georgia for that. Quite a while back, Georgia had an aphid problem in their many peach farms, so they imported Asian ladybugs because ladybugs are their natural predator. Problem is, Asian ladybugs are much more aggressive than other species, and have no real natural predator, so we're stuck with swarms of the buggers now. It's bad in Tennessee, though they seem to be declining somewhat in recent years.

And yes, they do bite.

I remember when my wife and I lived in an apartment, and one day we came home to find hundreds of ladybugs up in one of the recessed fluorescent lights in the kitchen. Just thinking about it makes me want to hurl...

Well, at my house in the summer at night, if you leave ANY window open for like 30 seconds, 1000s of tiny flies squeeze through the screen and swarm everywhere. The only why to not have them enter, is to have all the lights off... Talk about rediculous...

I was just thinking about starting a topic about this. Oh yes, are the ladybugs ever bad (or ladybirds, as they say in Britain). Here in North Carolina, there are droves of them flying around. There are, literally, hundreds in every room of my house. I sometime have to cover my water glass with a plate when I'm not drinking from it so that they don't fall in there. :(

Haven't had problems with ladybugs here, but a few years back we had a really bad moth infestation back in Colorado. Everytime I'd go to bed, I'd have a dozen or so of the buggers in my room. Got to the point where I couldn't sleep knowing they were in there, so I had to kill every single one before I'd go to sleep. I probably looked rather silly jumping around in my underwear with one of my schoolbooks trying to kill moths...

I seen a few of them but it's not really that bad here in Ohio.. there was probably like 7 of them on my friends door the other day.

Yeah, that's true. I had no idea before I was bitten. I haven't touched one ever since.

...They bite?

Wow. I remember liking ladybugs and there being some wive's tale about them being good luck when I used to live in California. Haven't had any problems with them where I've lived, but I've had to deal with ants and flies plenty. I feel sorry for you guys.

The orange variety do indeed bite. Also, they smell quite a bit when you smash them. What's that mean? Get a vacuum with a hose out and start sucking them up.

Wow. In AZ (and most of the southwest, I guess), all we ever have is ants, cockroaches, and flies. And even then, rarely a major problem.

I see more lizards than bugs.

Like orange with spots? Or solid orange?

Cause like.. the only thing I've ever seen in a ladybug are orange ones with spots.

Right now theres a bunch in here, every year they infest my room. Freaking bastards.

It was really bad here in Ontario for a few years; we haven't had too much of a problem for the last 2-3 years though.
