Ladybug Picnic

Millions of ladybugs covered the rocks at Stevens Peak. If anyone can explain this phenomenon please let me know.

Do you know the reason for there being so many of them?

Re: why?

Ladybugs go dormant in the winter, so they often are among the first insects to appear in the spring. They gather into groups and move to higher land to converge, I guess. If anyone knows more please let me know.
