Prayers for your boy and those who lost loved ones in the storms.

Chech, was her husband (and kids?) also in the house and survived?  I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your wife like that and survive.

Redstone Arsenal has been lost to an invading force of ladybugs.

No, the story I heard on Weather Channel said she was home alone.

So has Woodland Hills -- Oxford, MS.

They chased me back indoors.

BTW, they're not ladybugs.  These are the stupid beetles introduced into national forests by the Forest Service to kill aphids.  They're Asian lady beetles.

When did they turn these things loose?

I think it was during the late 1980s or early 90s.
IT WAS STUPID!!

Good morning folks.  I'm up early (actually late for my normal) to take Runt to the Ulcerative Colitis clinic at UAB Children's this morning.  I hate driving to/through Birmingham...  Hope you all have a great day.

Drive safely.  Hope y'all get a good prognosis.

Yes, unlike the American version, these Asian variety like to hibernate in wooden structures, like houses.

Worse still is the stink bug, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug accidentally imported from Asia in the mid-to-late 1990s.  These suckers have proliferated and are a much bigger pest than those lady bugs.  They also will winter in your house.

I've been told that the stink bugs bit can be painful and bring blood too.  Don't know first hand though... Still, in the Springtime is when we typically get the swarms of the ladybeetles...

Did Urban Myer tell you that??   

Their mouths aren’t structured in a way that enables them to pierce, sting, or bite through human skin...

I've been bit once by a stinkbug.  Surprised me because of how often I've picked them up without getting bit.  According to stinkbugsguide.net, "Normally they do not [bite]... However, they do bite humans when they feel threatened.... As a result of their bite a person may feel painful, but harmless, swelling or rashes on the affected part of the body."   Click here for link

That explains why I never saw these things growing up then.  "Invading force" is an accurate description at my pacle.

What kind of damage were the aphids causing?
