Suddenly in front of our windows there are many ladybirds swarming and coming in the house. Is there a reason?

Ladybird beetles (often called ladybugs) swarm in the fall, prior to winter hibernation. They are trying to find a warm home and huddle together hibernating in a great swarm during the winter months. They may use visual cues (for example, a sunlit wall) or chemical cues or both to locate a good spot. Perhaps, when one ladybug finds a good place, she emits a pheromone to let others know. More may detect the odor, follow it to the spot, and pile on the growing heap of a hundred or more.
