Copper Oval
What are these little critters, copper color I found in my house?

They are very small, about 1 / 4 inch long. They are copper color and seems to have wings. They are oval. Ideas?

They are beetles, more commonly known as Lady Bugs. So ugly, they are quite benign. They come in many homes through cracks and walls of losing on the hottest side of the house. They are trying to keep warm and stay alive. They will when the outside temperature rises to a favorable level. To prevent their return next year to seal cracks around doors and windows in the sides of the house to the south and west. It would not be a bad idea to seal all parts of the house because it would reduce their heating bills and keeping the beetles out.
