Holy shit......are they having an orgy? One time, 20 years ago I saw 2 ladybugs having sex, and then a 3rd one came over, and started fighting the one on top. Then they fought each other, until finally the one who was having sex went back to having sex, and the 3rd ladybug just watched.

I'm pretty sure I saw a ladybug get cucked, as 2 humans also watched.

......wait, does that mean I got cucked by a ladybug?

It was insane the whole trail was just some giant sex fest, this was a smaller bunch compared to the rest but I liked the little plant they were on

None of those look to have the "M"?

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, but at the same time they don't have the deep red that ladybugs normally have. These are more orange.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's more about how much white is on the head. Ladybugs have only the two "ear" spots.

Oh shoot I didn't know, now i know to stay away if they bite and leave nasty yellow stuff

The word "ladybugs" is forever ruined for me.
