Loads of ladybirds everywhere. Anyone else?

[Coaster1]

They’re coming in the house when I thought they were meant to be starting hibernate
anyone was having this ? Or know what’s going on?

Yes - two toddling up our banisters today. Released back outside, they’re cute and lost

I have the same problem it's like a crazy conspiracy lol but honestly they aren't known for being very colony like or working or living like wasps or ants n being big numbered social being what's triggering it

I’ve got hundreds here today again…like another flying ant day. It is very warm here though. And very sunny.

They are on a mad one today!

I’ve noticed a lot in the garden today!

We get loads of them around this time. DH noticed them a few days ago so we’ve had the windows shut since which I hate.

It's a lovely day! There's millions of them here! I've just had one land on me when I went out for a minute.

Ds literally just messaged me from uni to say he’d left his window open today and came back to loads of them!

It’s ladybird day here today too. Every year on a sunny day in October dozens of them appear round my back door, and this year, today is the day!

We haven't got ladybirds but omg the fruit flies are back. They're everywhere.

There are swarms of ladybirds here today! Left all the bedroom windows open and now there are literally hundreds of them upstairs.

Swarming round my back door too today. All over the window above the door.

Yes! I had to clear about 20 from my bedroom window earlier. And they kept flying back in as I was getting them out.

Yes we have them too. I don't want them to hibernate above the window vents though as come Spring they usually fall out dead! So I don't know how to deter them. Maybe it's our windows, New house and the windows have these vents above them, where they like to go.

Yep, hundreds here in Kent, and about 40-50 have appeared in the porch/hall in the corners of the windows.
Not sure what to do with them!

Had an appointment this afternoon and was waiting outside to be picked up (it was a very warm 19 degrees here) and literally had ladybirds actually flying into me, think in the manner of birds flying into windows, except it was my forehead!

I could see them flying all around me like a swarm of midges and they were in all the nearby trees and bushes as well. I don't think I've ever seen quite so many about!

Had hundreds swarming round us in a vineyard in Surrey last week but very localised.

Yes! I was covered in them whilst walking the dog earlier - one even hitched a ride on the tip of my nose for a while!

We had loads again on the house today and I don't like them, having been bitten by them several times!

It's the weather bought them out today.

Omg I had an issue with them a month ago, please don’t tell me they’re back!!!!!!

Was it Shugborough by any chance as we saw the same there last year?

DH and I were dive bombed by them this afternoon while painting outside. There was hundreds of them around the front of the house too. The sunny side.

Millions of 'em! Fascinating though, various colour combos. There have been a lot here all through summer and it seems they are good at hiding from downpours! Spiders having a field day catching flying ones.
