I played golf here in Chestertown this afternoon...........The bugs were
hatching and flying everywhere........They looked like Ladybugs but a
little lighter........they would bite if you left them on long enough.   I
didn't see any birds after them.  Maybe they were some close relative to
the Ladybug....Ladies should not bite a person.                 Floyd

I hope this is not too far off topic. They do fly, and are a food source
for
birds.

Has anyone else noticed a large number of ladybugs this afternoon? Right
now, there are hundreds of them arriving on my eleventh floor balcony at
the
north end of Baltimore.
