My fav garden insect, due to their love of aphids :D Do ladybirds find a cosy spot then spend the winter there, never seen them huddle together before herd style?

Brilliant find! Its interesting that there are lots of different species all together. I had a black one with red spots in my kitchen for days and it finally settled on making the hibiscus rosa its home. Until my girlfriend threw it out! :roll:
