Vanessa Amaral-Rogers, Conservation Campaigns Officer at Buglife said: “The colder season can be a particularly tough on bugs and insects as they are reliant on the heat of the sun for their daily activity.
“As a result, it’s not uncommon to see them moving indoors. Some can even be found hibernating in the quieter parts of the house like the attic or the porch.”
