Lady bugs

Asian beetle or Lady bug or both???? For the record one of these things, not sure which color did bite me, I swatted it off before I saw what color it was.

Do you think if they are asian beetles, will the chickens eat them if I put them in a container? They are easy to catch. Except that they eat aphids, but I don't see any aphids.

I just answered my own question,

Looks like they are asian beetles. I may be going out with the kids bug net and getting together a chicken buffet!!!!

One bit me one time, my husband did not believe me. I was letting it crawl up my are to show my DS and it bit me. It was like a sharp pinch. I guess that is what it did to me. No big deal it just surprised me.
