Local farmers would release them by the tens of thousands in the spring/summer to combat aphids on their crops. I assumed that these were the end-of-season remainders.

Dixville posted:Edit ladybugs are okay until they start pulling this poo poo  You can't really do anything about them; you can try squishing them (and it often takes more than one smash), but then they smell. Apparently the most reliable way to control them is to suck them up in a vacuum cleaner, but to me that sounds like you'd just wind up with a vacuum cleaner full of boxelders, and that does not sound like a definitive step in the right direction.

Florida gets lovebugs. Mating pairs remain coupled for several days, including while flying, so they look bizarre. They also swarm.

The reason they are the worst bug on earth is quickly discovered if you have a car. Unless you really like to scrub bug guts off your car (and it's not easy) every couple days, your car will be disgusting for all of lovebug season. I hate those things.

What people in North America have called ladybugs for the last 200 years, Coccinella septempunctatus, don't swarm indoors and don't have the white line between head and thorax. Asian ladybeetles are bad news. AlbieQuirky has a new favorite as of 16:36 on Oct 7, 2018 |

I was too lazy to Google for something better. My mistake! The seven-spot ladybugs have the advantage of staying outdoors where they belong, and also of not smelling like chemical weapons.

My mom used to put a bunch in our freezer over the winter so she could release them in the spring as a natural insecticide, and four year-old me was pretty devastated to discover the link between the thawing, starving bugs in my one hand and the hapless aphids in the other. The miracle of nature.

SubponticatePoster posted:You can mix regular ol' dish soap with water and spray them down with that, works pretty well. The apartment I lived at before I bought my house would get them all over the back entrance in the fall since it was south-facing. I wouldn't have cared except they kept getting inside so I resorted to chemical warfare.

Before we bought our house, we lived in a complete loving hovel of a 4plex with some really gross neighbours. Sewage backed up all the time, the bottom unit sinks overflowed when the upstairs people did their dishes, holes in the walls, and a ridiculous flour beetle infestation. They're tiny and flat and can get into any food container including tupperware and screw on lids. And you wouldn't see them in any food that was porous or cluster, like cereals. They have the worst taste of anything you can imagine, it is STRONG, and it doesn't go away. Sometimes one would get into the bed, and if you 'disturbed' it like laying on it, that same stench was released and then it was "Well now I can't sleep because it loving stinks in here". They live in the walls and you can't get rid of them. We threw out so much food thanks to those little fuckers. I was glad to only be there for like 7 months or so, but it was hell. They ended up in out house because they cake with us when we moved, but we managed to get them under control in about 3 years with very rare incidents in the final 2. lovely little monsters. It was tempting to have the place fumigated.

I've seen ladybugs chowing down on dead boxelder bugs. One of our trees is infested with boxelders but there is a small but not insignificant contingent of ladybugs on the far side of the trunk who come over and drag away the dead ones.

Now that it's warming up Australian bugs are starting to come out in force too. Here is one of the more common bugs we see around here being eaten by another common garden bug.

"I'm the half naked anime chick on the side of a car with the gas flap under her exposed panties so that when you are filling the gas tank it looks like the pump handle is going into her gooch" is a bit on the nose.
