Critters - the good?

So, yes, the moral of the last post was that the Spotted Lantern Flies are bad for local crops, but surely, Ladybugs can do no harm, right? They are so adorable when you see them on a tree trunk, or on beautiful bloom you are gathering to fiber dyeing. But what if they are crawling up your new custom blinds? The bathroom ceiling? Gathering in large mysterious clusters by the back door? You are finding them on your salad plate? Crawling all over the backside of your house? On your back? Dropping from the ceiling into your bed? Down the back of your shirt? Now it sounds like a horror film, right?

Sweet little ladybugs gathering to drive you mad, I mean actually they are trying to get warm and stay alive, but must they do so in such large numbers and weird places? I’ll always be on “team ladybug” outdoors, but when indoors and they are climbing near my salad, or in my shirt - they are not my friend, and they’ve crossed a line.
