Ladybugs and Newtown, CT The very first Fall we lived in Newtown, CT, I was amazed at the number of ladybugs that were swarming my home. Since then, every Fall, usually in mid-October, the ladybugs come - in great numbers. I have a fondness for the ladybugs and don't particularly mind them, but not everyone shares my sentiments.
I wondered about the ladybug and Newtown, CT phenomenon, so, I've googled different aspects of ladybugs over the past few years. Here's what I've learned over the years:
- The ladybugs are looking for shelter for their winter hibernation
- They tend to like bathrooms because of the water & moisture
- They'll fly into your home or squeeze through small openings to hibernate
- Ladybugs will form a large group for their hibernation
- Ladybugs are attracted to light colored homes
- When they die, the vacuum works just fine
So, now you have a little information for next year when the ladybugs return to Newtown, CT.

You forgot to add that they're suppose to be "good luck" too.
I've only seen this once in a vacant home but there were hundreds of them, Good Luck.
Dan: You are so right! I forgot to mention that they are good luck.
