We found a Golden ladybug that flew in our home that is entirely shiny and reflective gold like a gold piece of a jewelry. I initially thought it was a piece of jewelry on the carpet when I saw it and picked it up. Is there a scientific name for this ladybug?

Renee		20-Nov-2007 15:35
Are the brownish looking lady bugs harmful? I keep running into them in my house, yard, etc.

Sherri		15-Nov-2007 16:05
I love Lady Bugs. I was wondering if anyone had alot of them on their house in Oct, 2007 and Nov??? We had a thousand of them all over our houses in my neighborhood. I live in Mass. thanks

Pony girl		11-Nov-2007 17:00
I really liked the lady bugs on the Website. We have a lot of ladybugs in our house. My sisster put one on the Window and it fell over and won't get back up. I love, love, love lady bugs. They are so cool to look at. Near our dining room table there is a lot of lady bugs that fly when we eat. It's fun to wach them play. My mom told me that it's mean to kill ladybugs becouse they are only finding a home for the winter.

Pamela Johnston		21-Oct-2007 23:25

Kat Ely		27-Sep-2007 07:00
I found an excellent beetle; like a ladybug with black stretched out paisley on a gold background. Maybe it is a ladybug. Please write if you know what it is. TY.

Guest		24-Sep-2007 02:25
You make pictures of bugs UNboring! You're the best I've ever seen. National Geographic should snag you! Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Lisa Lapko		02-Aug-2007 14:42
Are there lady bugs that are tan with dark stripes? There is one on the flower arrangement at work. I will set HER free at my break.

Keely Hogg		23-Jul-2007 04:10
I once hike to St. Mary's peak in stevensville MT. It is the tallest mountain for hundreds of miles. my friend and I saw literally thousands of ladybugs between the rock crevaces up on top. It looked like blood was pouring through the rocks. absolutley one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen. Keely Hogg

Guest		23-Jul-2007 00:21
I have loved ladybugs for as long asI can recall

Jo		12-Jul-2007 01:54
We have golden lady bugs in the trees out back in our yard. They have a dark golden shell with black spots on it. First time I ever saw these golden ones was when we moved here 2 years ago.

Guest		03-Jul-2007 18:26
I love lady bugs too. I think that lady bugs are interesting as well. Sam, age 8 years.

Guest		30-Jun-2007 21:18
My 3 year old is just crazy about lady bugs...these are some of the best pictures I have found...and she's tickled too!! thank you!

Candace Bridges		01-Jun-2007 01:59
I saw a lady bug with a gold bell design covering the shell with a black back drop. I was in Grand Prairie, Texas at the swimming pool of my apartment complex. It stayed on me for quite a while even after I left the pool side and then finally flew away just as I was walking past my car. It was not long after that I made an unanticipated long road trip and relocated. It was a miraculous sign that led to a mystical journey, and I am sure God does communicate with people through super-natural nature, like The Gold Bell Lady Bird Beetle.

Mishelle Nicholson		20-Jan-2007 04:00
I too have seen the solid gold ones. My son talked to his teacher and she said they are not an actual lady bug , but a beetle and they are deadly poinious to other bugs. What ever they are , they are extrememly beautiful. I have only seen about 5 of them in my life time and I am 62.

Sandy		31-Dec-2006 02:24
I've seen the prettiest lady bugs in GA. I've seen a solid gold one and a black one with an intricate gold design. God creates awesome creatures.

Guest		25-Nov-2006 15:22
That last picture is amazing. I rarely see one that red...I have it as my computer wallpaper.

Guest		09-Nov-2006 20:50
Yes - I have seen a Golden Lady Bug. It had a clear shell with bright gold flakes all over. The most Beautiful Lady Bug I ever saw. Wendy W.

Guest		20-Oct-2006 19:56
Has anyone ever seen a golden lady bug. i had one land on my shoulder a few years back, and it was as gold as my gold tooth. Wendy
