one of these bad boys, I didn't think they bit :eek:

I've been doing a bit of gardening and came in to watch the Chelsea v Man Utd match only to feel a bit of a sting on my leg.. I look down and lo and behold it was chewing my leg!

Who said Ladybirds were cute and harmless.. just hope I haven't caught anything bad

Cool, I could be Spotty from Superted

I'm keeping an eye on the bite area, not sure if it's going a funny colour or not :eek:

If you're feeling funny, don't worry. It's just all of the juices draining out of you. Pretty soon you'll look like this:

And when you do, which you will, I suggest you post pictures.

Disclaimer: This may not actually happen.

lol, as long as my nads don't end up looking like that

What colour is that ladybird? The picture isn't entirely clear. Red and black ones are harmless, but some of the funny coloured ones are mildly poisonous, so the area of the bite might get a bit irritated.

It was more orange than red and luckily a dollop of antiseptic cream seems to have calmed things down a bit.. not sure if I'm going to wake up in the morning with a swollen limb :eek:

Why no pics of the horrific bite?

I'm a bit worried as to why you want to see photos of my naked leg but here goes:

You can see the bite towards the right of the picture and the discolouration of the leg to the left of it (sort of blue veiny stuff)..
