Weird "Fact For the Day"

[Bailey Guns]

Lady bugs bite. Mrs BG reported to me she was viciously gnawed upon by a bug that wasn't very lady-like. I laughed, then "Googled" it. Sure enough, lady bugs will bite. They have no venom or irritating saliva so you're not likely to perish from a lady bug bite. Unless you're involved in some type of Stephen King horror scenario where dead lady bugs were buried on ancient Indian burial grounds. That could be bad.

Before anyone even asks...the answer is "no". I have nothing better to do today.

ETA: But, now that I think about it, what caliber is good for lady bugs?

I actually recently learned this fact. Thought someone was jerking my chain at first.

.410 loaded with sand or salt works good on flying insects.

Kill them and apply seasoning all in one. I like efficiency.

This begs the question, "What did your wife do to piss off a Lady Bug?"

I don't know. But she's pretty gifted in that department.

No....those aren't ladybugs like we grew up with. Those miserable POS's are Multicolored Asian Lady Beetles, which are very similar to the ladybugs that we grew up with...only they're evil.

Ladybugs are far redder in color than the Biters; the Biters look like ladybugs that have been faded y the sun. They bite and it hurts and it destroys childhood dreams to think that a ladybug would bite.
