Cutest infestation ever

Mitch, you stand corrected:

NEW YORK - Ladybugs, 720,000 of them, have been released in the middle of New York City to help protect one of the city's biggest apartment complexes from pests.

In the next days and weeks, they will crawl into plants, flowers and shrubs in the Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village complex in search of insects whose smell attracts them - soft-bodied, leaf-sucking aphids and mites.

Buying the bugs - at US$16.50 for 2,000 - means the complex's owner, Tishman Speyer, can avoid using chemical insecticides.


THAT is the cutest infestation ever.
