They may just be hibernating? Give them a while in the sun and they may waken up,. They could, of course, have been killed by the severe weather but it's more likely they're still hibernating.

That looks like a 7-spot Graceland, very good to see we still have them. I saw ever such a lot of the harlequins last year and I don't think that's so good.

We have a small holly bush in the front garden which was covered in them.
I like the small black ones with red spots as well.

2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France:
