Ladybirds

[B+.]

Where are all the ladybirds this year? I've not seen any

 

[Erichalfbee]

That's true.
I've seen maybe three or four seven-spot in the garden
MIL had festoons of Harlequins hibernating in her porch

 

[MikeT]

Not seen any in Norfolk although plenty of aphids on broad beans, roses, lime trees and other plants in the garden. Plenty of Harlequins about last year but have not seen them this year.

Absolutely hundreds on my allotment. Especially my beans with the black fly

Not seen a single Ladybird this year.

About three ladybirds, and one larva on the blackfly of an unspecified Leontodon
