Ladybugs

Last fall, my house was invaded by ladybugs. So I rounded them up by the hundreds and put them in a bug habitat to spend the winter in my mudroom. Well, yesterday on my wife's birthday the habitat fell of the shelf and hit her on the head, so she kicked their little world out of the mudroom and onto the deck, where I was standing. I was mortified to say the least. Those little guys are my kin. Anyway, I picked it up and looked inside to see if all was well. I think there was no harm done because they all appeared to be still "sleeping". I think the shriveling up and turning black is a hibernation thing. Once they thaw out, my sweet little friends will live once again. You can be sensitive and manly, that's all I'm saying.
