Hence the 'cool' American name

That's true. In that case I'm surprised they're not called "shield critters".

Coincidence, or something altogether more sinister?

Oh, there are loads around! I'd noticed a fair few - of varying colours - in the West Midlands, and I've just seen loads flying around outside and walking on the windows here in northern Yorkshire.

Plenty of ladybirds around today, even though it's wet.

by Butterfield Thu Oct 19, 2023 4:55 pm

Yes, I've seen three or four ladybirds today. One fell into the chasm of the front door sill earlier, and I had to close the door with it still in there. scared

Still haven't seen a one.
