Lost Ladybugs

Lost Ladybugs

Dear little ladybugs I have missed you 
Your harmless orange and ebony
Among my flower pots.
Where did you go, was it something I said?
Spring may be soon, but without you
I am less.

Did you burough as diminishing doodle bugs;
Is global warming frightening you,
Is it directing new migrations where
I can no longer plant for you.
Where are you precious ladybugs, come back,
For without you, I am less.

Silent One January 12, 2018 at 12:39 PM You have them already? It is not even spring.. we call them ladybirds in the UK... I have noticed yellow ones here now... Sunlite Wanter January 13, 2018 at 6:06 PM No, we don't have them - not until late Spring if they come back. I don't know why they have disappeared.

Lunita Blanca January 12, 2018 at 12:22 PM Sunlite I too miss them. Lots of aphids in my garden hope they return for lunch. Sunlite Wanter January 13, 2018 at 6:05 PM They have been gone a few years, and I miss them as well as the horned toads that used to hang out by the faucets.

Anne-Lise Andresen January 12, 2018 at 11:57 AM - We only see them in the summer here in Norway - A lovely poem, Sunlite - Happy weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Sunlite Wanter January 13, 2018 at 6:05 PM For some reason we haven't had any for a few years. I miss them - maybe the chameleons are getting them.
