I was standing out on the deck watching Charlie (our pet chipmunk that I told you about few days ago when I felt something. I was no where near the ground, so I had no idea what it could be. The next thing I felt was a stinging sensation. Now that really got my attention. I glanced down to see a ladybug on my leg having a good munch. I had heard that they bite, but it had never happened to me so I really wasn't paying attention... until today. For such a little bug, it can really take a bite. Have you been bitten by a lady bug and now I'm wondering if all ladybugs bite or is it just a specific few?

I didn't realize that they bite! JJ could be right. Those Asian Beetles were around in the thousands about 20 years ago.

I had no idea that a ladybug would bite. I thought they were supposed to be good luck.

Ouch, no I have never been bitten by a ladybug, and hope not to be. I hope it heals quickly for you with no lasting effects.
