Intrigue in the nation's capital? The Patriot Act rearing its ugly head?
Actually it's that there's holes in my window screens. At night with the light on bugs invite themselves right in.
The interesting thing is that it's not like a lot of bugs of the same type. No swarms. It's more like one of each species. I have a little bug with disproportionately long grey wings. I had a big bug with a brown body and dark wings. There's been a moth with an unfortunate habit of making itself comfortable on my laundry. There have also been a couple of miscellaneous bugs whose particular exoskeletons I can't quite recall offhand, although some of them have been squished for lack of a better way of ensuring their timely departure from my bedroom. And then there is a really stupid ladybug that keeps flying into the spinning ceiling fan and crashing down on my bed.
Last night the ladybug crashed into the fan again for about the third time. And once again I put it back outside. You'd think it would have learned better by now. I suppose it's possible that maybe it was a different ladybug. To make sure, if it happens again, I'll start counting the spots.
I try to help out the ladybug(s) and not squish it (them) because it's (they're) pretty and aphid-eating. Although if it is in fact the same one every night it is beginning to wear out my patience and I may be no longer able to guarantee safe passage from my room. Still, if it has been a different one every night, why would I only be seeing them one at a time? If I had a horde of ladybugs living in my bedroom, wouldn't I have noticed? Or is it some secret ladybug protocol that they only reveal themselves one at a time?
Of course, WHY would a horde of ladybugs be living in my room? It's not like I have a lot of aphids hanging around. Unless they too only show themselves one at a time...
