Signs of autumn...

The annual plague of ladybugs has appeared. Flying clumsily around my workroom, bouncing off lightbulbs, suiciding in my tea mug.

I think these bugs are more useless than mosquitoes. Their sole purpose seems to be to become a nuisance. And they live for a very long time without food and water it seems.

Like kudzu, they were introduced from Asia. Why, I can't imagine.
