When winter arrives, so do the ladybugs. They come in through small cracks around the windows and doorways in older homes. They’re looking to hibernate in a warm, comfortable spot over the cold winter months. The problem is, they eat garden and crop pests like aphids or scale insects and none of those are inside the house (at least I hope not!). The ladybug is forced to live off it’s body fat until spring arrives. Yikes!
I read that they like a little humidity when stuck inside the house. So, if you spot one while taking a shower; that’s one smart lady. Sorry, I couldn’t resist…
If a ladybug lands on you, be careful not to brush it off. Stay very still and count the spots. The number of spots will reveal the number of months you will enjoy good luck. Be sure to come on over to The Cottage during the winter months for some lucky charms. We’ve got lots. I almost stepped on the one pictured!
