This is a loveliness of ladybirds preparing themselves for winter.
The collective noun for a group of #ladybirds is called a loveliness. What an apt name for these #beetles
These harlequin ladybirds will hunker down and become dormant over the winter, whilst there is a scarcity of food. Not all species of ladybirds group together, some like the Seven-spot prefer a solitary spot, within tree bark, gaps of rocks or leaves
