Question

Why would a ladybug with 18 spots crash on to my Louise Gluck book and play dead on the poem Snowdrops?

Answer 1

I wish my eyes were as good as yours. I'd be lucky if I even saw the ladybug.(much less her 18 spots) Hey..how come there aren't any boy ladybugs??..or are there??? Surely..there HAS to be..doesn't there?..but then..you never hear of "babybugs" either..so maybe not! Hmmmmm

Answer 2

Poetry has been putting people to sleep forever.Perhaps the ladybug was just sleeping.To research your question I looked up Ms Gluck's poetry.I'm getting pretty tired myself.

Answer 3

Louise Gluck would make anyone play dead, if that meant that the didn't have to read anymore of that insipid rubbish.

Answer 4

Exactly the same thing happened to me, except it wasn't a ladybug, it was a red-back spider, it didn't have 18 spots, it had two red and black patches, it wasn't a Louise Gluck book, it was a Homes and Gardens magazine, it didn't play dead, I squashed it to death, and it wasn't on the poem Snowdrops, it was on the recipe for grilled calamari with olives.

Freaky.

Answer 5

this autumn you should plant snowdrop bulbs. plant 18 of them. you will enjoy them in the spring. they are really pretty.

Answer 6

Wow 18 spots, thats got to be a record, they do get sleepy this time of year.  It might  be some kind of a message, but its beyond my mental abilities to decipher  it. Nice bug!

Answer 7

I don't know, but I think it inspired you to write a poetic question that is very pleasing to read.

Answer 8

I think it's a message from the beyond.
