Millions of ladybirds descend on hidden South Australian radio tower

Millions of ladybirds are massing under a remote radio tower near Mount Burr in South Australia, with the location also attracting visitors keen to see the unusual sight.

Steve Chapple came across the mass and was taken aback by his find.

"I've always been astounded by the numbers out there but this year was just phenomenal," he said.

Experts bemused by mass ladybird find

University of Adelaide professor Andy Austin said just why ladybirds participated in such a mass event was hard to tell.

"Two likely reasons are they are mating aggregations that attract beetles to one spot, essentially to make it easier to find a mate," he said.

"The second possible reason is that it is for protection against predators, particularly birds."
