About three years ago we were first invaded with a new kind of ladybug. These are not the nice ones that I used to be happy to encounter outdoors in our garden (knowing that they are good for eating harmful bugs such as aphids). The new arrivals have been referred to as Asian lady beetles and they have a nasty bite. At our son's house they have gotten into the walls as mentioned in posts above. The bugs are a real nuisance. And, yes, they do stink when you crush them.
