Title: Bugs, bugs everywhere
Post by: Tom on February 28, 2002, 09:38:43 PM
I've never seen the likes of the number of potato bugs. They are everywhere that has a roof.  In the barn, in the workshop and now in the house.  

Here is one trying to get "HOME" :D

I heard that these were imported to kill aphids on plants,  like ladybugs do,  they even look like 'em,  we call them "Chinese beetles".  Was a time that you could make money selling ladybugs.  Seems to have gone awry....those suckers are everywhere,  lift a block of firewood,  and they are on the bottom,  seemingly hundreds to a cordlength,  all over the house in summer,  etc......won't have to worry about them for awhile,  I hear we're suposed to get 10-12" of snow tonight.....
