I have just seen a few ladybirds hanging about on the branches of a fatsia shrub in my garden. They have been prolific this year. Wondering why they're not off hibernating somewhere.

I was wondering the same, I found this info.

Well thanks! I detect some Insect Fear in the article: " If it feels like they're everywhere, don't worry - you're not alone! Ladybirds are coming into our homes to find shelter for the winter and there's not much we can do about it, according to an expert." I'm thinking I should go out and fetch the one(s) in the garden inside, now it's rather chilly. [i edited this, adding quote marks after 'according to an expert'.]
