i enjoy reading sometimes, but i spend most of my time writing music or poetry, singing, and playing guitar. i learned ukulele when i was 11 and picked up guitar at 16. writing and drawing are two of my favorite pastimes, and much of the art on my walls is my own. i am a huge theatre nerd, and have been in several musicals. i am currently working on getting a bachelor's degree of fine arts with a concentration in musical theatre.below are some of my favorite things ^-^

ladybugs/ladybeetles

The Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis) is a beetle that looks very similar to a ladybug (Coccinellidae) and is commonly mistaken to be the "more aggressive" of the two. This is false. While Harmonia do bite when bothered, ladybugs do as well. Harmonia are claimed to be an "invasive" species, which is no less true for ladybugs if you live in the U.S., and Harmonia do no real harm to ladybugs aside from competition for food (but there are always plenty of aphids to go around, and besides, Harmonia tend to thrive in agricultural fields whereas ladybugs are often forest-based. (though both are quite able to live in either of these climates). Releasing ladybugs or Harmonia into your garden can help stop aphids from eating up your pretty plants and flowers, but Harmonia are more likely to migrate indoors come the colder seasons, as many bugs do (including ladybugs). The myth that Harmonia are more destructive and "invasive" than ladybugs is untrue and unfair to the colorful little guys, since both Coccinellidae and Harmonia axyridis have been introduced in the U.S. and other countries, and have been naturalized.
