Encore: Nice Antennae, Baby.

Spring is here, and our lawn’s got the dandelions to prove it.  Yaaay.
Never mind that, though; this CO Classic is prettier.

Ladies and Gentlemens, I present to you: The Tiniest of Feets!

    It’s snowing here: the green grass looks cuter than the little bug!

    Charlene,

    Where are you that it’s snowing?

    [I was wondering that too... - Ed.]

    Such a perfect Spring pic, Theo. Thank you. And her leetle antennae remind me of Uncle Martin on My Favorite Martian. *sigh* What a great show THAT was. :)

    I love ladybugs, but not so happy when one of the little snots are the bitey kind!
    I was stunned when it happened to me a few years ago.

    But Teho, dandelions are awesome!! They’re delicious and healthy, and besides, grass lawns aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. :)

    Um, Alex, thanks for the story, not sure how it’s related, and everyone should know that it is an R-rated story with bad language. (Some might say X-rated, but not me).

    Yay ladybug!

    Ah, one of the few bugs that don’t freak me out and that I actually welcome in my home. They’re adorable. Is it just me or can I hear a “plink plink” when I look at this picture?

  14. Meaghan says:

    I love dandelions. They are such a welcome sight, the bright dots of sunny yellow after a long gray winter.

    Ladybugs are a welcome sight too, for the same reason. They are good bugs to have around — they don’t sting us, and they’re good for gardens.

  15. Here in Australia it’s winter (the temp is 28C not F thru the day)but we still see ladybirds and they are so special!!

    The Ladtbugs dark secret is out . They like Dragon Flies are preditors. Maybe you smelled like a aphid to that Ladybug.-Woodds Walker

  17. Peekyweeky says:

    I like how tiny his or her feet are!!!!

  18. puddlepeppers says:

    My husband buys small ladybug balloons that I can wear on my wrist. The balloons only last a few days, but he’s a keeper.
    *O0<

  19. Oh so not a ladybug???

    Well you learn something everyday!!LOL!

  20. Caitlin says:

    From what I can tell, that’s *not* an asian lady beetle. There are a lot of kinds of lady bugs, though, and I’m no entomologist.

    Apparently the Asian kind are the ones that tend to bite. This reassures me, because I was very offended the first few times a “nice” ladybug tried to bite me!!

  21. Kivrin says:

    Gah! I’m embarrassed to admit this, but ladybugs freak me out. Those wing flaps… *shudder* In fact, I’m pretty much afraid of the entire phylum Arthropoda (i.e., insects, arachnids, crustaceans). So I’ll just be scrolling down to find more kitteh pictures now…

  22. lucy's mommeh says:

    Woods Walker-Seriously, I’m WAAAAY too big to be an aphid….

    I remember walking past some cabins once & the ladybugs were swarming on some cabins. We’ve even had it happen on our house once. Better that than bees or hornets…..

  23. Lucas says:

    haha, great email sig! And great little feets!

  24. This beetle is the one that always appears in nursery rhymes! XD

    There is a yellow one with black spots too. They are just as adorable. Also super tiny. Feels like a very light sucker stuck on your finger. But will ply off once you touch it.

    The wings are hidden under the hard shells. XD

  25. hon glad says:

    I see her in pink ballet slippers.

  26. Kristabelle says:

    @ lucy’s mommeh – I was out gardening a few weeks ago and I felt this *BITE* on my elbow – I look down and what’s there? a ladybug!!! I had no idea they would bite. Couldn’t believe it!
