We saw this ladybird at the biginning of our hike, thinking it was cute, but isn’t it too cold and rainy for ladybirds?
It’s been raining a whole bunch lately, so the trail was muddy.
We had to cross a stream a few times, I dont know what I was thinking cos I knew we were supposed to see a waterfall, but I was not prepared for water…
We bumped into a bunch of ladybirds, and thought it was kind of cool.
Then we looked around and realized we were in the middle of a ladybird invasion, they were everywhere!
I thought it was a little freaky and got uncomfortable after a while. Now I think I understand why Americans call them ladybugs.
We asked the ranger later and it turned out the ladybirds migrates here every year to hang out.
I think it was around here that I slipped and got a wet foot.
They were everywhere, I’m serious!
Except for my wet foot, we all managed to stay clean and dry up until the very last stretch!
