The ladybug was created six years ago as the brainchild of Eric Higbee, who has put photos of early sketches and the creation of the bug on his web site. Every year, a group of neighbors get together to refresh it and enjoy a bit of sunshine and comraderie, and this year, it’s this weekend. Stop over and join the fun.
As we mentioned last year, the city has an informational sheet if you’re interested in creating a ladybug of your own.

This is the special kind of touch that shows we in Wallingford care about our neighborhood.
Thank you to all the annual painters and Eric Higbee!
I wonder why the ladybug seems to be blurred-out on google maps?
@Rich, national security.
Glad to hear the ladybug is still with us — heard it was a huge controversy within the immediate neighborhood!
Yes indeed, heard the same. Interesting that none of the nay-sayers have spoken up here. Says something about the crowd we attract, I guess.
Amen to that! So nice to see positive responses to the Ladybug!! I live on the bug and love love love it. 🙂
