Ladybugs in Yosemite

Posted by Kris Corey on January 7, 2011 at 7:32pm

Many of the smaller Natural Wonders of the Yosemite are are missed by the average tourist and Ladybugs are a great example.. These orange beetles hibernate each Winter at the base of trees in certain areas protected by bark and pine needles. There can be hundreds and even thousands hibernating together and they are pretty well concealed. During the Springtime swarms of orange beetles fill the air as they wake up and fly away.

Yosemite Audio Adventures are filled with fun facts about the natural wonders of the Yosemite area.

Hard to capture on film, it's just one of those things, you had to be there!

Hey, I didn't know that. Cool Pictures. Will you be there in the spring to catch them on film flying away?
