I'm not sure about the good luck thing. I've always been told that but one year I got a real bad infestation of them in my basement and they were everywhere. I couldnt even take food down there with me cause they would eat on it. I later heard that they were meat eaters? But I couldnt kill them because they are so darn cute so i just let em die off when it got cold lol.  |

I always thought LadyBugs resembled goodluck, I can remember family members telling me, be gentle... the LadyBug brings good luck, and also count the spots, the more spots, the more wiser the LadyBug, the more luck... lol, it's a cute tradition, but to be 100% honest I'm not sure :0)  |

I always heard that "true" lady bugs were lucky. However, the little critters that I have been seeing lately are not what we consider ladybugs. They are close relatives. They were imported to eat aphids and have gotten out of control. They are everywhere. And they do bite!! The cold weather will get rid of them.  |

I used to live in a house that had a nest of them. We'd come home and they would be everywhere. Some of them bite. I've seen a few here in Indiana. One day, we were "golfing" and my hubby got bit by one. I wouldn't put the bug spray away if I were you. BTW, when they bite it feels like a sting. It isn't pleasant.  |

I was always told ladybugs brought good luck. I love the little critters, they are soo cute. If bugs get in the house, I try to catch them and toss them out, otherwise the cats make a meal of them. Oh well...  |

Ladybugs are probably good luck, because they eat aphids and other pests that can destroy crops. But they do bite. One day I was admiring one on my arm, when it chomped on me. Ow! It does feel like a sting. They're beautiful, though.  |

Well, I still am not sure if they are good or not, I still havent killed any, but I havent seen any since I wrote the last post either. As far as the luck goes, nothing lucky has happend since the LB sightings so I guess I answered my own questions. lol

I have no idea but anymore when I see a ladybug, I think of the movie/cartoon "It's A Bug's Life" and the ladybug that wasn't a lady. But the spots on them are different and so it the color.  |
