Signs that Spring is on its way?

we found a bush, right outside our front door
that was filled with Ladybugs on Friday.
I've never seen anything like this. Is this a sign
that Spring is coming? I really want to know. If
someone knows will you say something?
This is one branch that had a yellow ladybug
with black spots.


These are my two oldest's hands, each holding
one lady bug.

Here's a VERY dark red ladybug with NO spots.


and here's another yellow one. I'm telling you, there
had to have been like 30 ladybugs on this tree, with
lots of cocoon looking things...

I'm sorry to say that this little guy didn't make it.
That's what happens when 2 year olds pick up bugs.
...bug guts!...
