I would NEVER kill a lady bug. And if I saw someone intentionally kill one, they are going to get a speech from me they won't like.
by Babycakes on September 10th, 2008
They don't scare me so I don't bother with them.
by Account Closed on September 11th, 2008
I try not to kill any insect and will do all I can to catch them and send them outside.
by Brian I on September 10th, 2008
We call them ladybirds in Britain and I remember being on the beach at Weston Super Mare once when there were thousands of them. I didn't realise before that they would bite. I quite happily killed as many of them as I could to stop them biting me.
by GoddessOfTheUniverse on September 10th, 2008
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
:):)
by Teri on September 10th, 2008
My kids are vegans and vegetarians...we do not kill anything. I live on the bay and right now that it is getting cold out the spiders are moving in.....I see six that I have to turn back to the wild tomorrow...
by Inquisitive minds want to know... on September 10th, 2008
I can't kill anything. I even pick up the spiders and carry them outside.
by Never saw it coming on September 10th, 2008
No, I wouldn't. In fact, I would go to great lengths to ensure its safety.
by Scott D - ex-QnA on September 16th, 2008
No. They are very beneficial insects ... and kinda cute! Heck, I don't even kill Boxelder bugs, and they are a flat out pain in the butt.
Now ... imagine that "Ladybugs" were the size of June Bugs with great big pinchers. I bet that everyone would change their posture. Personally, I would treat them as I do spiders. Cute and tiny gets a free pass. Big and ugly will be "murdered" without a second thought.
by Firebrand on August 28th, 2009
I do not kill bugs
Only Flies and ants if they are invading my territory.

No never :)
by bigdada on September 11th, 2008
Never ever,ever.:) They are up there with praying mantis.
by Mastodon on September 11th, 2008
Only the invasive ones
by Long Shot on September 11th, 2008
I have to vacuum them out in the spring. We didn't used to have so many but the farmers brought them in to control boll weevils in cotton, not we have millions and they stick up the house.
by Snowman on September 11th, 2008
No! My kids and I play with them sometimes though.
by Shan is Purrrrrfectly Happy on September 11th, 2008
no way. theyre good luck. im not as much of a bughugger like those buddhist monks from the movie 7 years in tibet where they halted construction on a building in order to dig out the earthworms first. (but im pretty close)...
by Galeanda on September 11th, 2008
No they are very beneficial insects.
by Sosueme on September 10th, 2008
No, I just flick them if they land on me. Probably hurts them a bit, but I don't squish them. Funny you asked this question. I'm used to red ones, but I had a yellow one land on me the other day. First time I saw a yellow one.
by Gold_Autumn on September 10th, 2008
Ladybugs always bite me :(
by malevolentbutticklis on September 10th, 2008
If I had a boy and I wanted to impress him with my magnifying glass ... no, I would let the kid do it. That's just the kind of nice guy I am. :-)
by LdyBg4N on September 10th, 2008
never never never.. they are very important as natural pesticides to some farmers.. :) besides I LOVE them and collect anything with them on it.. and every spring i make a jar to keep a few in to look at and then let go.. love the little ladybug garden!!
by JanZizka on September 10th, 2008
No, they're pretty and harmless so I just leave them alone.
by DreAnna on September 10th, 2008
Not on purpose but if they happen to be walking where I am..or happen to be flying in front of my windshield..well..they gotta die..LOL
by mike mcenroe just cannot be serious maa on September 10th, 2008

Everytime i see a Ladybug or one lands on me, i have extremely good luck.
Fact or fiction?
Who knows. give me a bucket of Ladybugs and watch me guard them till forever.
by debodun on March 9th, 2009
Not intentionally
by XT on August 28th, 2009
Not it all.
by anddeb on March 9th, 2009
Bet I have, but feel it is wrong to kill them.
by rigby on March 9th, 2009
no - it is bad luck
by Sandman on September 1st, 2009
No way. They're good luck, and they eat other bugs.
When I was a kid, we called them "ladybirds."
And we sang,
"Ladybird, ladybird,
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire,
Your children will burn."
P.S.: They were originally called "birds of Our Lady", i.e., Mother Mary. Ergo they were blessed, and naturally good luck.
by philosopher-saint on November 8th, 2009
"Ladybug" is an antiquated sexist judgement. Do you mean "female bug"?
;-)
by Sarah M on November 8th, 2009
Nope
by Hillbilly on November 8th, 2009
yes them little sum beaches will bit you.
by mellow_girl on November 8th, 2009
never...
by Casey on November 8th, 2009
No, killing a ladybug would not be a good thing to do if you would not like to have a lot of bugs in your backyard or any other place.
Ladybugs are known for getting rid of pests, and so killing a ladybug would be multiplying the amount of bugs you have.
This information goes for spiders as well, but the only difference is that ladybugs are cuter, and they can't really hurt you. Actually, I asked if ladybugs could hurt anyone in anyway, and I'm hoping to receive an answer soon :)
by MicrocosmicOrbit on August 28th, 2009
Never do. I like when they land on me. Butterflys too.
by bagkhan on March 9th, 2009
never ever.
by Sexyrabbit on August 28th, 2009
No, never they are suspose to be good luck. :)
