then you don't have hundreds of them flying around your schoolroom every day, even though you've sucked them up with the shop vac so many times you are now the shop vac ninja.

Oh, and this picture doesn't do justice to the scope of the infestation. Picture it worse. MUCH WORSE. I sucked up hundreds (yes, really) of them-every one I could see- not ten minutes before this picture was taken. Looked up and there they were again.

Anyway, here is little ditty I found that I thought appropriate:

Ladybugs Fly

(to the tune of "Three Blind Mice")

Fly, fly, fly.
Ladybugs fly.
Fly over here.
Fly over there.
They fly up high and they fly down low.
Around and around and around they go.
They fly fast, and they fly-fly slow.
Oh, ladybugs fly.

Yep. And they crawl in your hair and up your nose and they stink.

Not very ladylike if you ask me.

Fly away home!
