That is really cool. My parents were a bit overrun by Japense Beetles a couple years ago. They got into everything. Nothing like that though! I wonder if this happens there every year? I know they started using and promoting ladybugs as a natural way to get rid of aphids. Maybe too much of a good thing?
I don't know why it is, but I know some types of insect do this from time to time. I think with ladybirds it depends on the weather (they like damp springs) and the amount of food available.

Wow! If your going to have bugs those would be the best to have I guess LOL.
I'll have to look up aphis, PV! It's fascinating, but can't imagine having to deal with being overrun by them!
MZ, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. There has to be an explanation!
I hope they do, Sandy!
LOL ML's, you've got a good point!

It's quite something, isn't it?
we have ladybugs in our area, but I haven't found the "ladybug tree"
this is very cool!
Fascinating, Jay! Thank you for helping shed light on this phenomenon! :))
Larry, quite a sight, isn't it?
