Bugs in the House

As the cooler weather of fall moves into our neighborhood, ladybugs are looking for a place to hibernate until the warm weather of spring returns. I opened our sliding glass door today and found the door jam loaded with ladybugs, which then did a mad dash into our living room.



The floor of our barn, near the rear door, was covered with hundreds of ladybugs.



The ladybugs looked dead, but when I started to sweep them up, many of them started moving. To avoid stepping on the ladybugs, I collected them and placed them in an open coffee can.



I also found this katydid looking for a warm spot in our living room.
