We have these little bugs that are small black and have yellow on both sides. They are on the outside of my houseand so far I only noticed that they are one side around by my back door. I will look tomorrow to see if they are any where else. Do you have these and or know what I am talking about?

I'm curious what it might be, I'm not familiar with a bug of that description. Looking forward to seeing a picture. ... Did I really just say that I am looking forward to seeing a picture of a bug? :shock:

I tried to take a picture of them but I couldn't get it to turn out right. Looks like they are turning into lady bugs. I never knew that they would gather around toward the bottom of the house and change. Alot of them are still the same as I have described before, now some of them are light yellow and some look like they are coloring like lady bugs. Does this sound right? Does anyone know about the lady bugs?
