There's so many ladybirds. Even my nan can't remember anything like we
got this year.

Is it just our house or is everyone getting tons of the orange
ladybirds trying to get indoors? And we live in a very built up area
not in the fields.

In 1976 we had a severe drought and that summer there was a "plague"
of ladybirds. I remember taking my Mum out for a walk on the coast
and the air being full of them, and the ground and plants covered.
It was spectacular but not a nuisance, though there was a report of
some of them "biting". Live and let live.
