I had never heard of the last two and had to look them up. The first one was what I always knew as "Lady Bugs" and the second I never heard of by any name. I don't recall ever seeing any of them. Flies and Lady Bugs I have seen in abundance. I don't know what the situation is around here. Since moving here I have not seen but about 10 flies, not a single mosquito, but a lot of black flies. I haven't seen any of what we called Deer Flies around here. That is the only bug that I have to try and avoid. If I get bitten on the face, my eyes will swell closed. Other people have told me that they get bombarded by mosquito's in the summer. I guess they don't have a taste for old blood.

Asian beetles are faux ladybugs. They are a less bright red … more orange. They are an invasive species, and not at all helpful like the ladybug, and the little buggers bite. I got bit today on the top of my hand.

OK, please keep them in Cananada or near the border with the US. Not counting politicians we have enough strange and invasive things down here. I've seen so many different bugs down here that I never saw when I lived up north. Some are quite scary looking when first spotted. I spent many hours when I first moved googling different ones so I would know to either not to be concerned or to run away screaming in terror.

Some things, like the tree skirt weren’t in the box, but my tree is up. Needs some tweaking of branches and repositioning of a couple of balls, and a few more ornaments.

It’s nothing like my usual masterpiece at home, but it’s shiny and sparkly, and apparently it’s good for your mood and increases dopamine. (Medical fact. Look it up.)

Can't answer for Tiggerish, but I can tell you that down here in New England, many of the colors are muted this season. Has to do with some temperature and rain changes the past few months.

I thought some colors were bright this year. I always thought most were muted colors. But anyway, there has been fire watches for RI and CT. Mass too probably. Who knew the monsoons the first few months would have lead to this

Where are all the vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges?

Like @MinnieM123 and @FutureCEO said, weather needed for max vibrance hasn’t cooperated this year.

Very pretty, traditional fall colors are few and far between this year, but I get to see these nice twins on my way out of work, for as long as they last.

You need a couple more leaf bags . . . ;)

“Our” leaves are in the bags. The immensely giant pile of leaves is deposited by the rest of our cul-de-sac neighbors for the town to vacuum up.

Because of the nature of the street and the fact that we have the only downward-sloping driveway, when the wind blows “just the right way” (which it does often) it sends leaves from the pile right back in front of our house and down the driveway.

All that said, yes, we need to make a Costco run for more bags!!
