ladybugs

They are everywhere!
Many folk are complaining of infestations of ladybugs at this time of the year ...
One colleague vacuums up several dozens of them daily and curses as they wander across his computer screen and keyboard.

The scientific names for these lovelies are Coleoptera, meaning "sheath-winged", and Coccinellidae, meaning "little red sphere".... and many farms pay thousands of dollars to import these avid aphid eaters!

All I can say is - if you are infested, you are sitting on ( in?) a gold mine... there's money to be made in them thar bugs!
