Got home and hundreds of lady birds are swarming my house!

Moved to our new home in may, we overlook fields and a river that is all part of a nature reserve.

I've been at my parents all day with my daughter, husband at work. It's 4 just got home and I've never seen anything like it! There must be 300 or more lady birds all over the windows, front door, everywhere!

I opened the door and at least 12 dropped into my hall.
I don't mind ladybirds they are easy enough to put in a glass and back outside but this is crazy!

I feel all itchy! I've caught a few and put them back outside (via the backdoor) They just seem to be swarming out the front.

Where have they come from?! I've been gone 5 hours. Is Autumn a time they come out? I can see them flying everywhere and gathering on the ledges. I don't want to open the front door or windows Confused do they like houses? Do they nest? BlushConfused

@whoopsiedaisydangle In late autumn and early winter it's not uncommon to find ladybirds huddled together in large groups, sometimes numbering thousands.
