Lizard don’t need no man, cat tattoos, baby birds, and so many ladybugs, in today’s links.
Just a strong scaly woman who don't need no man.

Massive enough to appear on weather radar!
Why do ladybugs gather in massive swarms?

This cat’s itching to know why his paw doesn’t work. (via Andrew Y.)
Poor itchy kitty…
The ladybugs were a question on Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me this weekend…
Those cat tats are fantastic! #13 almost looks 3-D.
Two thoughts:
1. It’s possible that people were not actually ignoring the sidewalk kitten; maybe she took off every time someone approached her and they just didn’t know how to catch her.
2. But if everyone did, in fact, ignore the kitten in need then I hope they rot in Hell. 😡
I love how the kitty licks his paw after trying to scratch itself a few times.
“Okay… What the heck is wrong with this paw? *leeckleeck*”
Maybe it just needs to be cleaned and then it’ll work…
Bless his heart….
He should try turning it off and on again.
Anybody notice Ladybugs bite? Uggh, I am not big on the swarming and biting thing– they used to do that in my old neighbourhood.
Such an interesting group of links today! I love ladybugs and saw the story late last week. I didn’t know they were called an aggregation. But I do remember being four and seeing an aggregation in Julian, CA. I remember it being early morning, like a blue dawn, and then this crazy thing of ladybugs on a broken log by the trail. My parents wanted to keep hiking but I wasnt’ interested in going anywhere. Just wanted to watch that bright red mass.
