Ladybug breeding grounds.

Here are some photos from the ladybug breeding ground. I took these yesterday and since the lady bugs are gaining in numbers. These are just some of the groups that seem to congregate. I wish I could show you the masses in flight, but they are small and don't show up well on photographs. Mowing the lawn yesterday they were bumping into me and by the time I was done there were twenty or so crawling on me.

By the way they bite! It more irritating than painful and only a small percentage do it. I will try to get up there when the grounds are packed for a few more photos.
