We like looking at the clusters of lady bugs
I have seen those ladybugs last year in December. They are incredible!
Fascinating story….I have seen similar gatherings in the Donner Canyon area of Mt Diablo SP
Reading this brought to mind a story I have heard from my partner's sister who lives in Pittsburgh, PA. She related to us that for a number of years during the spring and summer there would be ladybugs swarming all over the upper walls of her home. Can anyone say what might have caused this phenomena?
