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.

This is a sweet poem. I love lady bugs. I haven't seen any in so long, but remember when I would see many. I hope they return to you soon :)

No, we don't have them - not until late Spring if they come back. I don't know why they have disappeared.

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.

For some reason we haven't had any for a few years. I miss them - maybe the chameleons are getting them.
