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?

Hi Bazza , Don't know much about ladybirds but this might
help you

All I know is they eat greenfly (good) and the little buggers bite (bad)


I read last year that Harlequin ladybirds are a Bad Thing and will displace
our native 3-spot and 7-spot. Harlequins have been appearing much more
frequently in our garden than the native ones which is a cause for worry.
They also overwintered indoors in my house, I found at least 10 over the
past six months.
