we're finding ten a day in our house, don't know where they're coming from. I have my quarterly exterminator coming but it seems so odd. |

A lot of times they winter under house shingles or get into cracks around attic windows or vents.
They are harmless, but can be a nuisance inside a home. |

They are known as gluckskafers in Switzerland -- "lucky bugs." I hope they bring you lots of luck and children, of course, since each spot is supposed to represent one kid you'll have! |
