OK, I've been sitting on these pictures long enough, I took them back in february and early march, and I was going to post them here, but I was hoping I could get some more impressive pictures. Every year the ladybugs hibernate in this one area down by the river. I'm not sure why they always go to that spot, but there's thousands of them. Anyway, last year I saw whole rocks and trunks of trees completely covered with them, but I didn't have a camera at the time. If there was such an impressive display this year, I must have missed it. Sorry they're so big, I really hated that I had to shrink the images down so much. They lost a lot of detail. If anyone wants to see the originals, they're 1200x1600 and about 400K each, but they're very impressive, I might be able to post them to my website at full size. They would make a cool wallpaper, except the pictures are so "noisy" it's hard to see icons against it.
