A ladybug just bit me on the neck.

[Magrittes Pipe]

:wtf:

[johnnie]

1. Did ya smoosh it?

[Magrittes Pipe]

5. No.

I was a bit too startled. Just knocked it off.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Since when do ladybugs bite??

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. They're Japanese ladybugs.

They've wiped out the native population in the Upper Midwest.

No idea why they bite, but they do.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Huh. Hope they stay away from Maine.

[mainegreen]

21. We've already got them I think.

The lite orange ones.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. I think I have seen those.. never been bitten by one though

[hfojvt]

30. I swear I got bit by a ladybug when I was about 8

and I have not trusted them since.

"I was just a skinny lad
never knew no good from bad
but I knew life before I left my nursery ..."

That was in 1970 or so, long before the onslaught of the dreaded Japanese Beatle.

4. Maybe there was an aphid on your neck too!

:P

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Possible, but unlikely.

[RandomKoolzip]

7. I knew my ladybug was cheating on me.

:grr: Go get her, Captain Flamechin!

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. That struck a nerve.

:cry:

[RandomKoolzip]

14. In MY country....

Nerve strike you!

[JackBeck]

8. Did you bite back?

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. No.

Ew.

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Better pick up one o' these

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Is that how it works?

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Well, see...

When a ladybug and an aphid-encrusted neck love each other very, very much...

[beyurslf]

15. What did you do to her to make her bite you? :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. Stood there like an aphid-infested plant, I suppose.

:shrug:

[Shine]

18. I've never heard of such a thing.

maybe it was actually a spider, cleverly disguised as a ladybug.

:shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. That bastard!

:grr:

[Shine]

20. OR, Bitch, as the case may be.

:evilgrin:

[riona]

23. ah, a strain that's been modulated by a moderator

[dolo amber]

24. You're cheating on me

:cry:

Maybe that's where you got hillbillies. :grr:

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. I got hillbillies when they moved in with me.

:eyes:

[AlienGirl]

25. Cute plus bitey equals FUNNY!

If you give the ladybugs some coffee with a lot of sugar and cream, and maybe a marshmallow, they won't bite you.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Cute plus bitey only equals funny with birdies.

And only when the bitey doesn't hurt.

[gardenista]

28. Your neck must resemble a pulsating green aphid.

That is the only logical explanation.

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. That's what the wife says.

:(

[gardenista]

32. Just tell her that aphids can reproduce without having sex

That ought to give her a reason to appreciate you.

oh, wait, it's the girl aphids that can reproduce without sex. oh well. sorry.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. It would never have happened if you were a redneck.
