Intimate Moment with the Ladybugs

After coffee in the screen room with my cats earlier, took a walk in the yard to see what I could find. Snapped this photo with my phone. Ladybugs were all over my holly bushes. When I took this one I did not realize there were two. Looks like I interrupted an intimate moment perhaps. Anyway, it was cool to see all of the little red ladybugs on the green holly bushes. So far that is all I have to share from my yard today. Another little thing many would not have noticed. Did you know that ladybugs will eat insects in your garden? I also have seen them eat the leaves if there are no bugs. We all have to slow down so we don't miss the little moments in our lives.

And here I thought the intimate moment was you work the lady bug itself, lol. It's not warm enough today to take a stroll in my yard. When it warms up again I plan on getting some raking in but that won't happen until I have to work next. It got down to 26 here last night with a high today of thirty something.

@CarolDM were having a swinging spring. Cold for a free days then into the fifties for a few days. Then cold again. Back and forth. They only thing the same is lots of wind. Never saw so much windy weather before.

@MarshaMusselman It was like that here but we seem to be balancing out a little now. April is always like this.

@carolDM The Irish for ladybug is 'bóín dé' which is literally little cow of God.

Strange--I don't remember ever seeing a ladybug in South Florida!!! I spend a minimum of 3 hours everyday just looking at what Mother Nature does--amazing!!

I always enjoy coming across ladybugs outside. I haven't seen any yet this spring, but I"m sure they're all out there.

@CarolDM We had a little ladybug on our porch quite some time ago. I liked it and wanted it around but Sophie did not like it so it was gone after a while. I missed it. I did not know that they eat insects in a garden.

That's a cute photo. A while back I caught two skinks doing the same thing in front of my office window.
