I like the bugs! I want to make some garden ladybugs out of bowling balls :)

Lol...I think they are super CUTE!!

Sounds like something I've done ( I really need to wear my glasses more often,lol...)

I like them too. I don't have anyone around when I'm killing imaginary pests (or any number of other embarrassing things). But then I don't have anyone to put cute little bugs in my pots either :-)

You're lucky!

HA! A woman in my office building (repeat: OFFICE. BUILDING) has been having a heck of a time with pests on her (never pruned, horribly maintained) jungle of plants. Mostly orchids, two trees, some smaller houseplant types. All overgrown, all with some pest or another. I've threatened bodily harm if any of her plague makes it down the hall to my precious menagerie.

In a fit of desperation, she bought live ladybugs. Dozens of live ladybugs. It's actually working, but the amount of time she spends picking ladybugs off the walls, the windows, the vents, the floor ... she yells when people come down the hall "DON'T STEP ON THE LADYBUGS!!" The cleaning guy vacuums them up. She freaks out. It's crazypants up here.

That's pretty funny. You do have to love them, pretty sure they wouldn't of taken the time to pull that prank if they didn't love you! Myself, I have twin 4 year old boys. They are pretty good and actually are growing some sunflowers themselves. But I recently had to replant some of my adenium seedlings because one of them was "petting" the baby plants. Really wanted to get mad but just couldn't. Really cant think of one good thing punishing him would of accomplished. Instead we just stuck it back the dirt and he begs to spray them with water because "petting" isn't good for them.

Ladybugs are good bugs...now, it would have been different if they had scattered a bunch of plastic mealies all over your plants!

That would have been unforgivable...;-)
