I was just bitten by a ladybird

It actually hurt! WTF? I thought they were nice insects.

It's now hiding somewhere around my computer. I'm genuinely a little frightened...

Anyone else ever been attacked by something that was supposedly gentle?

You should be. It's got a taste for your blood. Now it'll want more, Little Shop of Horrors style.

Yep, second bite and you turn into a blood sucking ladyboy vampire ladybird.

The scariest of all small yokes are daddy long legs, I have to keep my windows closed at night just in case they see a glint of light in my house & fancy coming in...

My mate & I chased one around my room with a hoover before, the two of us were in shock after... Scary feckers!

& apparently those house spiders (the ones that look like daddy long legs without wings) are the most poisonous but don't have the ability to bite through human skin... Now that's what I heard, now sure whether to believe it or not...

I can understand the spider thing, but why would people be afraid of things like moths? Oh noes, its going to fly slowly at me ....:rolleyes:

It's the fluttering!

Oh god the fluttering

The worst is when you realise there's one in your room at night not because you can see it but because you can hear the fluttering...

That's why I also am freaked by butterflies. I don't care how colourful they are, they are not pretty, they are glorified moths. Ugh

Yes, but I was wondering what a ladybird (apart from biting) can do that could be transformed into a superhero's superpower.....ah well...too much time on my hand.

MidnightQueen

Good question. He could have the ability to fly and spray yellow goo.

KittyKat wrote: »

...and spray yellow goo.

I was thinking about that, too. The little "bug"gers crap little yellow stuff when sitting long enough on your finger.

I am actually posting in a thread about ladybirds.

MidnightQueen

It must be because they get excited.

I dont know much about Ladybirds.

LOL. Should give that a read.

It's not crap, its a type of acid to ward off predators.
