I get so much enjoyment just cruising through my yard and observing the wonders of nature.  But last week I stumbled upon a sight that just blew me away.....something I'd never seen before.   We have a Crape Myrtle that is coming back after my husband pulled the mature tree down due to vines smothering it.  When I walked past it that day, I noticed that it was LOADED  

with Lady Bugs (aka Lady Beetles).  I thought the plant must be infested to have so many, surely!  They were as beautiful as they were diverse.
