Thank you. I'll check everything when I get home and I'll send a picture to the Swiss office to have them identified. Maybe they are harmless little fellas and maybe they are Asian killer bugs. You never know
Looks like we'll need one of those - gosh, I admire the discreet way they manage things.. Attachment 24759
I'm so sorry for you. Ladybirds (as we call them in English English) are the creepiest insect around, especially when they get their wongs already to fly I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight. I hope you get this problem sorted, think if it was me, I'd be staying somewhere else right now...!
First rays of sunshine and here they are, parading our bedroom, I'm telling you they are giving me the creeps They must have been somewhere in the room all winter hibernating or whatever and now they are out and about again!
They spend the days under pillow cases but at night crawl into your ears and nostrils to keep warm.
No they don't.
Collect them all, and mail them to me, please!
Tom
dead or alive?
I know you can buy ladybugs mail order in the UK ( used to be able to anyway ) but I don't know what Swiss customs would make of a box of ladybugs
I can send you some Gendarme beetles ...I hate the bloody things ( they've not woken up yet tho )
Alive, I want them for my plants!
Tom
Maybe they are the aggressive Asian mutant variety...
I wish you came to my place to take them all away. I've been trying to get them out of the window with some paper, but it seems they multiply at night, I don't seem to make a dent in their numbers. And I really don't want to kill them ...
Forgot to mention these spots are already taken by the spiders.
Same here. I don't want to kill them.
You can order them by mail in Switzerland too. In Obi (and perhaps somewhere else too) you can order them via a special company and they get delivered by mail.
We call them 'bêtes à Bon Dieu" in French, sthg like 'God's creatures'. They are supposed to bring luck, or rather bring your wishes straight to God's ears (if you are so inclined).
