Ok, I put some new pictures up from this weekend, and a few from last weekend.
I found out what the deal was with those ladybugs I saw on Ford Ridge–apparently, they’re hibernating. I didn’t know that ladybugs hibernated, let alone that they lived long enough to hibernate all winter. It’s strange that they’d pick a wind-scoured mountain peak that receives so much snow in the winter that you need a snow cat to get there. I guess they’re heartier than I thought.
