In spite of the lower temperatures I have been joined by a bluebottle in the bedroom for the last two days. It becomes active when I put the light on. The rest of the time it is resting up on the ceiling. Would it be cruel and heartless to get the fly swot out and biff it? The noise is very annoying.
I don't like flies etc in the bedroom...or any room come to that. They always seem to home in on me and don't take the very big hint I give to shove off!
We've had lots of young ladybirds flying in through open bedroom windows this autumn.. On some warm days in October they were festooned all over the outside nipping inside at every opportunity, I've even had to turf two of them out today! Gently mind.
Despite not minding ladybirds - unlike all other creeping, crawling and flying insects - I've never spotted a difference in colour. No pun intended.......
Is it my imagination or are they getting bigger? We had a swarm a few weeks ago and they looked huge.
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
I'd have swotted it the moment it turned up, can't stand the thought of where they've been added to the fact that the cats chase them all over the house including hanging on the curtain plus they eat them when they catch them, yuck!
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
When we first moved in this house, the front bedroom was used as a storage space until we got ourselves organised. I left the top quarter light window open for ventilation and rarely went in there - those boxes looked accusingly at me so I tried to avoid it. I went in there one night looking for a book in one of the boxes and there were about half a dozen flies lethargically buzzing about. They were shiny, wet looking. Out of the corner of my eye I saw moment and there, near the open window was an undulating black mass of newly hatched flies. No, I did not panic, though I was horrified. I got the vacuum cleaner and sucked them all up!

Love that smilie Nellie. I did wonder whether this lingerer was because of the change in bin collections. Then I started worrying about what it will be like when it snows and they don't collect them for even longer.
I'd have to give it a whack. I used to think oh well they only live a few days but I saw on a TV program that they can live for up to a month. Give it a whack!
