This dog... he's got my heart for now and forever.In our home, all creatures great and small are welcome...
....well almost all creatures.... I dont usually welcome insects.... however, I've never quite been able to bring myself to kill a ladybug... unless you count sucking them up with the vacuum (but I like to think that they dont really die when I do that)....
Even LuLu doesn't seem to know what to make of them...
Here is LuLu sniffing out a ladybug....

When you find a ladybug in your house do you sweep it up and toss it out the door, leave it alone or *gasp* kill it?
**No ladybugs were harmed in the making of this post**
Never ever. They always go outside :)
ReplyDeleteWe never kill ladybugs! They eat aphids and aphids eat plants. We love ladybugs.
ReplyDeleteMust NOT kill the ladybugs.
ReplyDeleteIt is considered good luck if they land on you.;)
Lady bugs equal LUCK! We are actually buying some to add to this years garden! Love the pics of your critters! I have such a hard time with the pet green eye, even when I use the pet mode on my camera! I can't get rid of it, and it makes me sad!
ReplyDeleteCute pictures! I try not to kill ladybugs either... .Although we've had these weird orange ones around here the past few years and apparently they aren't the good ones or something.
ReplyDeleteI leave them, but the cats do not share my benevolence.
ReplyDeleteWe were always taught that if we must move them, they were to go on a plant. I gather mine up on a piece of paper and transfer to my spider plants.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, how did you get such a good focus on that tiny insect? You must have a nice lens! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like insects in my place. I mostly have potato bugs (sow bugs) and spiders. Not that a spider is an insect, technically. I have to kill the spiders. Putting them outside would not work, they'd just come back in. If I found a ladybug, I would not kill it. They don't bother me. I would put it outside. I hate flies though, both house an crane flies. Those have to go! I got new windows and screens this year- yahoo! Now the buggies can't some in.
We try not to kill ladybugs, but this fall they decided to swarm our house. So, that means if I went outside they were in my hair, down my shirt, in my bra... You get the picture. It was a bit over the top. We would find them in the house, on the house, everywhere! A few seem to have decided to winter over inside. We try not to kill them, but there is a limit to what I can take in the house and how many.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember something about good luck if a lady bug lands on you so no killing of lady bugs, I can use all the luck I can get.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of "Hawkydog" is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love the kitty eyeing the bug. Very cool photo. I love lady bugs! Whenever I find one in the house, I always pick it up and take it outside.
ReplyDeleteFab pictures and if we ever get a ladybird ( what us brits call ladybugs ) in our house they are always carried outside and settled on a nice leaf somewhere
ReplyDeleteWay cool lady bug picture chickee!
ReplyDeleteI also like the one of Hawky Dog's eye!
