Ladybirds

I've had ladybirds on and off over the last 3 years in only one room in the house, sometimes as many as 9 or 10 at once. I try to slide a piece of paper beneath the ones indoors and deposit them on the outside windowsill.

Yes, a little bit of sunshine and they think it's spring.
They will have been hibernating indoors as others have said and are waking up ready to go out.

Brrrr....

Aveline - of course they fly! How do you think they got in?

I think they must live in the walls of the building. Poor things they'll not get out to the garden. I know they can theoretically fly but I don't like to throw them out the window as we're on the 4th floor.

Yes, they're probably coming out of hibernation.

We had several which seemed to hibernate around the edges of windows, perhaps they're waking up and coming indoors.

Nature does throw up these mysteries from time to time.
They have come in for a warm- one day you'll look for them and they'll be gone.
Not sure you'll get to an answer.

I found one on a seed tray in the polytunnel today. I hope it has plenty of mates and will get rid of the white fly.

They are a friend of the gardener - give them respect☺️

They seem to be coming out of hibernation here.

We have had several on the inside windows in recent days and there were quite a few around when I was picking up leaves in the garden.

I catch the indoors ones with a glass and piece of card and put them outside. Otherwise I leave them alone.

We are in Bedfordshire.

If your neighbours have the same problem, I don't think it's anything specific to your flat, so I agree, just wait. It is very early but it's been mild, maybe they don't like the continual rain?

Seems out of season
I’ve not seen any around here
I d just wait myself
