Not them... the Insect ones.

I moved into a "New Build" around a Month ago.In that Month,we kept finding these Insects in various rooms.Anyone had this problem? Could it just be as they were getting built,they may have layed the eggs there?
Currently finding around Two a day.

Cheers

there are a lot of ladybirds that are yellow with spots, the 'foreign ones' which are called Harlequins can be all sorts of colours but are usually larger than the native uk version

Definitely put them outside, they are good for you garden as they are carnivorous and eat greenfly

I would let them all just get on with life. They do good in the garden.
