Both in Hantsport, where we lived for a few years, and here on the North Mountain, we have played host to overwintering lady bugs. They somehow figure out how to get into the walls from outside this time of year, then come spring they appear (at least in the 100s) on windows and warm spots on the walls -- inside the house. We open windows to let them out. Our hope, of course, is that they spend the summer eating various pestiferous garden bugs. They don't seem to do any obvious harm in the house. For all I know they could be breeding while inside. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us on that matter, As far as I can tell, they are almost all Multicoloured Asians (_Harmonia axyridis_), aka "the most invasive ladybird on Earth."
