They look like ladybugs to me, but I'm no expert. If they are, they are fine. Some growers buy them to kill off other pests, because they are predators and good for killing the nasty bugs that kill our plants. If they aren't, then you better identify them and find out if they are safe.

Those aren't lady bugs. These look just like them but they are orange instead of red. I'm not sure what they eat though so I'm of no help. I'll see if I can find some info because I just saw a couple of them on my window.They look like ladybugs to me, but I'm no expert. If they are, they are fine.

they eat other bugs if you have them you have other bugs for them to eat. if you kill them the other bugs will breed unchecked and may be a problem

I found a link to a site which specializes in removal of these things. They are called Multi-colored Asian Lady Beetles. It looks like they are predators just like the red lady bugs so they are beneficial. They were imported to help control aphids. Here's the link:
