i used to think lady beetles were awesome, eating aphids and all that.
now, i don't like them so much, that they are creeping through the cracks into my room and walking over my screen, buzzing around my room, and not actually doing anything useful like eating fleas or anything.
at least they don't smell, unlike the stinkbugs that are also trespassing.
gonna be planting a decoy attractant area at the far edge of the fence, sunflowers and dill, that will attract them there, and then get some mantids and just naturally, the dill will attract bugs that eat stink bugs.
