Kathy Z---eeeeeewwwww, those bugs sound awful.

Karen--I don't mind lady bugs, but I WOULD NOT like so many as you are dealing with. I hate bugs, anyway--terrified of spiders, ugh!!! One or two ladybugs could be cute, but a swarm??? NOT!!!

Back in Maryland, where I grew up, we had this 17 year locust. They came out in, I think it was 1969 (the summer I graduated from high school) and it was like something out of a horror movie---especially for someone like me who is squeamish about bugs. It was horrid,horrid, horrid. One woman crashed her car into someone's dining room b/c they got into her car while she was driving. Ugh!!! Olivia, if you're on this tread, do you get them where you are? I think they just had a recent episode this past year or so.
