The weather service told the Los Angeles Times that the ladybug “bloom” appeared to be 80 miles by 80 miles, flying at 5,000 to 9,000 feet.
Officials didn’t immediately know what type of ladybug was causing the phenomenon and aren’t sure where the insects were traveling from or where they came from.
