      Ahhrw, yes ... Harmonia axyridis :o) ...
      Harmonia axyridis - Aggregating A In fall Harlequin ladybirds try to find a good shelter for winter and form huge aggregations. Here are a few groups that aggregated behind the shutters of a mansion in the Dutch Hoge Veluwe district. A few fairly small groups behind every shutter, but at least around a thousand beetles in total.<br /> Here's another one of the groups:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/69141/dscf9866_hd.html Aggregating,Coccinellidae,Coccinellinae,Coccinellini,Coleoptera,Harlequin Ladybird,Harmonia,Harmonia axyridis,Ladybird
