Hi All,
Yes we are experiencing dozens of Harlequin ladybirds congregating on our west facing wall. We live in a late eighteenth century flint cottage and at some time in the distant past the west wall had a thin coating of concrete applied which becomes extremely warm when the sun is shining on it and the ladybirds love it. Old house = buckled window frames and dozens managed entry last year. We are more alert this year and remove them immediately!

I too live in a very old cottage (16th century)
with white south facing walls which are hugely appealing to the
Harlequins. There are also many nooks and crannies for them to hibernate
in. They always arrive in October and then start emerging again on any sunny
day from January. I have grown used to having them in the house from then
until late April. This spring I removed 350 from inside the house usually
when the numbers got up to 30+ at a time and I needed to have a clear out.
They don't seem to cause any damage and my wife and kids don't seem to mind
them either so looks like they're here to stay. This year I've tried a
ladybird box outside but they seem to be ignoring it completely.
The main worry is what has happened to the 2
Spot Ladybirds. When I moved here in January 2005 I found about 150 2 Spots
hibernating in a rotten window with one Harlequin (which it turned out was
possibly the first record for Sussex). Yesterday when the count was 670
Harlequins I only found one 2 Spot. I hope that means
they're spending the winter elsewhere rather than a population
crash.
