Encore: Nice Antennae, Baby.

by Theo on May 9, 2009

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!

Ladybug Ladybug, fly away home –
but let me check out your feetlets first.
Ah, ladybugs. The happy confetti of the insect world!

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.

Ladybugs, the best!

Love the ladybug . . . my favorite color!

How ’bout a COXCU?

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

I la-la-love! ladybugs <3

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?

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.

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

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

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<

Oh so not a ladybug???

Well you learn something everyday!!LOL!

20 Caitlin 05.09.09 at 8:08 pm

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 05.09.09 at 10:12 pm

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 05.10.09 at 7:59 am

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 05.10.09 at 8:28 am

haha, great email sig! And great little feets!

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 05.10.09 at 11:27 pm

I see her in pink ballet slippers.

26 Kristabelle 05.11.09 at 10:19 am

@ 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!

27 Amelia 05.11.09 at 6:11 pm

I LOVE LADYBUGS THERE SOOOOOO CUTE I LOVE THEM AWWWWWWWWWWW
