Thousands of ladybirds were seen covering trees at Capulin Volcano in New Mexico.

Footage shows a thick swarm of red and black insects clustering on trees near the summit on May 9.

Authorities said the event marked the start of the annual hill-topping phenomenon, which typically continues through August.

Visitors can observe the insects densely covering tree trunks and branches during this period.

Officials said this seasonal occurrence is one of several natural features that make Capulin Volcano a notable ecological site.

Hill-topping is a natural mating behaviour where ladybirds gather at high elevations to find mates.
