It is getting cold as winter gets closer and the ladybugs outside your window feel jealous of your cozy little spot inside your blankets. These beautiful spotted beetles look for a warm spot to hibernate over the cold months. Ladybugs dance and fly into your room to protect themselves from the cold. But don’t worry, they don’t come with an empty belly. They won’t eat your plants, nor your hair, nor your homework, so don’t . Ladybugs live off of their body fat reserve when they hibernate, and don’t enjoy their usual diet of aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and spider mites. Ladybugs are the best protectors of gardens and getting rid of plagues in fields. A tired ladybug deserves your hospitality during the cold season. Their beautiful colors can bring a spark to your day everyday.
Final fun fact: ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae.
Love the ladybug. 🐞❤️
