It's always good to see them, and there were lots on the allotment this morning!

My bad. I'll get my coat .....

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.

[RSJK]

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.

Ladybirds, Bees and Butterflys on the plot,  Spring is in the air.   ;D

[Digeroo]

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.

[landimad]

We have loads hiding in the new growth of the hollyhocks and Comfrey at the moment.

Yes I have already seen lots of ladybirds! Most welcome. Also ladybugs.
