So I was sitting downstairs getting ready to eat a cup of yummy red lentil soup and this asparagus, blue cheese and grape tomato salad:

When I noticed that the little red thing I thought was some sort of wayward pomegranate seed, was actually this:

Yep. That's a ladybug. Needless to say, I didn't eat the salad after that.

I rather like finding ladybugs in my veggies, granted usually they're found in the prep-stages, but they're good bugs. They eat the bad bugs. And I'd rather find a good-lady-bug any day than eat a bunch of invisible pesticides.

You do have a point. I mean, it would have been much worse to find, say, a roach in my salad. :)
