misc Ladybugs everywhere!

Was just out back moving my plants out of the sun as they are still being hardened off and what do my eyes see? Ladybugs EVERYWHERE! All over my plum tree and also on some of the pepper plants! Very happy to see that! 
Cool. 
If I walked outside, my thoughts would be different depending on whether they're the "normal" (local) ladybugs or those damn, wretched Japanese (orange) ones that have been getting inside every fall for the last several years...

Oh yeah. The Japanese ones definitely do eat the pests. I've read that they're at least as good at, or possibly better than, the native red ones. That's apparently why several attempts have been made to bring the little bastards into the US. But what drives me nuts is how every fall they start coming inside. IMO, they're just annoying pests (at least during fall and winter). They can get to be about as annoying as houseflies.
I told her not to worry that I wasn't scared and they were still welcome here. 
Everywhere like this?
