Meet Harmonia axyridis.
A native of eastern Asia this multicolored Asian lady beetle was introduced into the United States by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a biological control agent. It seems now they are everywhere. They bite, they stink and they've descended-upon the sunny sides of the house in numbers of biblical proportions. This happens every autumn
So I wet to the garage and brought out my big spray bottle of Spectracide Bug Stop. A non-staining insecticide I anointed the sides of the house and now these stinky invaders are died by the shovel full.
Have to use the leaf blower to clear the porch deck.
