Topic: Ladybirds

[Bjerreby]

It looks like a good year for ladybirds here in Denmark! My red clover and nettles are full of them. The last time I saw so many over here was about 25 years ago..........there was an absolute swarm, but since then they have been scarce.

I am writing about the red ones, not the yellow / black harlequin ones.  :)

I hope that it will be here as well, although I've not seen many yet.
There were plenty on my plot last year, including the one in my blog header photo!

I remember that - I had holiday in Denmark about 25 years ago, and I remember seeing swarms of them all over the harbour wall I was walking past. I've never seen so many before or since. Hope we get a load of them over here too!

Ha! It was a few years after I had to jump into Kerteminde harbour to escape a swarm of bees! That must have been 1972 I think!
