Adam, a friend of mine was working on an article for his class and decided to interview me about a fairly recent ladybug infestation here in Binghamton.
Here's the gist of it, pretty much word for word:
"Hey, I have to write an article for a class on a trend and I know one that was happening was the ladybug stuff. I was wondering if you guys could answer these questions to your best ability. Thank you.
Please be as descriptive as possible and you can exaggerate or say ridiculous things."
A: When did they start showing?
J: October 21, 2009, at approximately 2:30 PM.
A: What was your initial reaction?
J: Somewhat surprised, since a couple of them got on my desk lamp.
A: What did it look like? Where were they?
J: Looked like one side of my room became polka-dotted. Most of them were on my window, though several advanced to the ceiling and walls.
A: What was your thought process in getting rid of them? Thought process in how they got there?
J: I looked for holes near the windows (obviously that's the only way they could get in), but found nothing extraordinary.
A: How did you get rid of them? Difficult? Crush any?
J: I caught each and every one of them by hand. Ladybugs automatically play possum when under threat, so it was easy. I simply nudged one and it fell into a container that I set underneath. Yes, there were a couple of casualties, namely the ones that refused to play dead so I accidentally made them dead for real.
A: Ever think it was a prank? If so, by whom?
J: Nope. There were signs of ladybug swarms in Albany, Syracuse, Boston, amongst other northeast regions.
A: was there any recurrences? reaction then and actions taken?
J: Yes, four days later, around the same time of day. There were not as many as before, but I facepalmed myself and proceeded to escort them out one by one.
A: Ever fear they were going to fly on you during sleep? Accidentally eat one in sleep? Was there any fear? If so, why?
J: Nope. I made sure I got every one of them out of my room. They're red, so they're easy to spot. And if I did miss any and actually ate them, it doesn't matter, since insects are good sources of protein.

I thought it was a pretty entertaining topic, since the memories made me chuckle for a bit.
