We’ve got a bug problem.
I find it fascinating that the mere shape of an insect can affect my reaction to it. Insects give me the jibblies if they’re not safely behind glass of some sort. Yet while I’m not a bug person, ladybugs are o.k. in my book. At the end of last summer we had DOZENS of crickets in our basement. If I remember correctly, we didn’t do a post about it because I was a little ashamed and a lot creeped out. This past week, though, I’ve carted out well over a dozen live ladybugs, and have yet to vacuum up the dead or mauled-by-cats ones.
So, if our house is on fire and the children all gone …. you know who to blame.
