We have had a warm winter in Minnesota so far this year. As with every transition from fall to winter, bugs seek warmth by taking up residence in our fiber-optic enclosures. Here is my latest example, a ladybug on a returned circuit board.

On the plus side, probably no aphids in there!
Given the choice between the two, I will take ladybugs every time. Overall, frogs cause the most trouble.

Was the ladybug fried?
