Hunting for Ladybugs

So the boys love, ok are obsessed with ladybugs. Not sure why, other than they are boys and boys have a things for bugs. Well by our place, they have not finished landscaping by a sidewalk, and sunflower weeds grow between the sidewalk and the road. For some reason the ladybugs love the sunflower so today we went hunting for ladybugs, we collected almost 40. I grabbed a snap ware container, plastic, thought the boys would drop it and it happened. Now the carry it around and I believe it is in their room. I was told to release them at night and they won't fly away. Hopefully they can live through the night and next day. Time will tell. The boys are like kids in a candy store, so enthralled with creatures that have legs, move, eat, and do not bite or sting. Here is to lady bugs.
