Sebastian is my seven-year old and he says some of the funniest things–we have no idea where he gets his material since his mother and I are rather boring, serious people.
Sebastian woke up rather upset the other morning.
My wife: “What’s the matter?”
Sebastian: “I had a bad dream.”
My wife: “What happened in your dream?”
Seba: “I was bitten by a lady bug.”
My wife: “A lady bug?”
Seba nods affirmatively.
My wife: “I am pretty sure that lady bugs don’t bite sweetie.”
Seba: “Then why do people always say: ‘Sleep tight and don’t let the lady bugs bite’?”

Cute story. Needed a good laugh this morning.

Interesting, isn’t it? The thing that made me look for it was that a few months ago we had this infestation of lady bugs here in Kansas, and someone told me that this particular species bites – a lot! I was so surprised… I could not find specifics on this, but at least the page I posted for Sebastian clarifies the issue a bit.

Yeah. I did not know that lady bugs were on anybody’s radar as “pests”!

In the area of Michigan where my parents lived, every fall, around the October full moon, lady bugs were everywhere. I learned then that “our” lady bugs have 2 dots and are harmless. There’s another type, with multiple black dots, that aren’t native and that can bite. Sebastian is psychic!
