Ladybirds in house

[WrenSpotter]

Living in an old cottage, we have lots of nooks and crannies which attract wintering ladybirds. At least ten of them decided to venture out into the bedroom this morning.
Can anyone advise me on what to do with them ie. should I put them outside or leave them be?

Now it's warmer you can put them outside + they should disperse. Do you know what species? Harlequins can be found in large aggregations. 2-spots are also regularly found indoors.

Put them outside in a sheltered location, although most heavy frost risk has gone.

Hi I have just about managed to get all the ones I had in my study c 50 out of the window ! They will come indoors to overwinter but it is mild enough to chuck them out of bed now .

Thanks, hope they enjoy their last night indoors! They are Harlequins and two spots, would be nice to see some of our native ones for a change.

Two spots are native

Oh, I didn't know that, something else I've learnt!
