Having my shower this morning and watching a ladybird walking on the
wall near the window thinking to myself don't fly into the shower spray
but it took off and landed on the window blind.
On looking closer I counted 7 ladybirds clambering over the window and
blind, some where red or yellow with up to 10 black spots, a few where
black with 4 red spots.
I have seen the odd one in the house before but not of this quantity,
does that mean we are going to have a plague of them this year?

That's curious. Talking to my son on the phone yesterday, he said the
French windows in his study were 'swarming' with ladybirds inside the house.
I told him to open the windows and encourage them into the garden. I wonder
what could cause this. Whatever it is, I hope they're the welcome ones.
