Does anyone remember a thread not too long ago, possible about lady bugs, but someone mentioned they had seen really shiny golden lady bugs. I replied I had seen them this year also (was first time I'd ever seen them).
Then somebody (Evert maybe?) brought up a hyperlink to go to that identified the actual name of the bug.
I can't find that thread anywhere. Anyone with a better memory than mine? Pwetty pweeeese?

Was just guessing, Evert. 'Twas a bug that so closely resembled a lady bug but only very very gold, all over...no spots at all.
