The red ones or the blue green ones?
Wild eh? I forgot about those. My folks get them out at Rogersville and I got the red ones on year in Greeneville but not much here in Gray.
I think they are so cool!

That's exactly what I did. You couldn't open the front door without them rushing in. Where did these guys come from? There's clouds of them. Had 'em down my shirt, in my hair and in my ears.

They attack people from Florida

I think the extreme fog we had last night with the warm temperatures today made them swarm looking for a winter home.

Geesh! I have never seen them THAT bad Jhubtin. Sounds awful!
I haven't seen any yet this year. But I had to pull out the shop vac a few years ago as they were in the window sills. But I still say they are better than mosquito's and fire ants I had to deal with in Fl. They bite! I am one of those people that if there is a bitting bug within a mile, it will find me. I remember I had a T-shirt when I lived in Fl that had a big mosquito on it and above it said "Florida State Bird". hahahhahaa Yea, I'd much rather deal with little non bitting lady bugs.

Those "Asian Lady Bugs" sound like what we call "Pumkin Seed" beetles here in New Hampshire. They look identical to Lady Bugs but are more orange than red. They like spending the cold months indoors where they hibernate until spring. I've never seen them swarm but they do invade in numbers. They don't pose any health risks and are easy to deal with. I have a heated workshop and find them buzzing around during the cold winter months on occasion.

These puppies were coming to the sunny south side of the house like a magnet. Reminded me of the movie "killer bees"
