I threw my coat on the floor and Frank decided it would make a good pillow.

These bugs have been EVERYwhere since late fall.

They may LOOK like lady bugs but they are not.

On average... I kill 2 a day.

-----------------------------------------------------

From wikipedia.....

The native Lady Bug has a dark reddish color and sometimes may not have spots, as opposed to the Asian Lady Beetle, which is orange in color, and always has spots.
THE COLOR! NATIVE LADY RED, ASIAN LADY BEETLE ORANGE.
Both are different from the Japanese Beetle, which is a metallic green-brown, and slightly larger than either Lady. It is considered a pest, and devours many plants. It can strip the leaves off a plant (trees, crops, and ornamentals such as roses, etc.) resulting in considerable damage to the plant, even killing them. You can purchase Japanese Beetle Traps which are baited with pheromones and are very effective in drawing them. In infested areas, it is not unusual for each trap to catch a quart of the insects a day in the height of the season.

And these are the 2 lonely house plants that I am trying to protect. :-)

Mike, plowing the drive.

Frank... trying to play with one of the cats.

Frank also tried to play with Trigger...

Fortunately for Frank, Trigger did not want to play.

We went to Bob (above) and Marsha's for pre-SuperBowl festivities.

Frank was just excited about all the food.
