The 'Hidden World of Bugs and Insects Report' has found Daddy Long-Legs and the European earwig are the most common creatures to take shelter in homes this winter.

Sony commissioned the research and also a macro photography series of pictures taken with their Sony a7R II combined with the 90mm Sony Macro Lens and a macro filter, which show extreme close-ups of some of the smallest creatures around the house.
The Seven-spot Ladybird, Common Green Lacewing, the Bluebottle fly and Red Admiral also topped the list of tiny creatures who take up lodgings and can be found hibernating in the quieter parts of the house.
