Croatian Times
A swarm of ladybirds landed in a village in eastern Croatia this weekend.
Daily newspaper Vecernji List reported that thousands of yellow ladybirds occupied the village of Antunovac near the city of Osijek.
"Old people say ladybirds bring luck. In that case the upcoming year might be lucky for us", a woman from Antunovac has said.
"I'm 45 but have never seen so many ladybirds. They are coming into our houses, sticking to us", villager Vinko Bartoloti has added.
Experts say climate conditions might have helped the spread of ladybirds.
"There was more food for them at the end of the summer. So that could be the reason there were so many ladybirds in Antunovac", biologist Goran Vignjevic of the University in Osijek has commented.
