[twizzinav]

we've had an influx of them this autumn in the UK. A strange sight to see plastered on the side of buildings

[cafekawaii]

@twizzinav We had quite a few up here in Autumn in Ontario,Canada too. They usually disappear by Autumn but I found about a dozen inside my house.. lol

[simpletonsunshine]

What a great experience! I remember as a child in Sweden, we used to catch them and watch them crawling on our hands and arms. I do remember the distinct smell from their yellow deposits!

That's fantastic, they are such important insect to the environment.. They are an Important predator of harmful crop eating pests. Here in the USA they are on the decline for some mysterious reason. Please don't kill them!

When I translate it, we here in Holland say something like

"ourdearLordslittlebeasts"....­

[blonde977]

[hackneysaregreat]

Looked that up again in my dictionary, and both are mentioned, so I adapted the title.
