I've noticed a distinct lack this year "down south" - both in the garden and up at the plot.
Are there any out there???????

I've only seen harlequins here but then again, not many aphids either this year.

Plenty here in Winchester, both on the plot and in the garden. Wish they'd eat some of the nasties they[re supposed to be eating ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
I'm in the South East and i have seen a number of different types:
tons of harlequins to much to count,
a few ten spots,
a smattering of two spots,
two 7 spots one in spring and one about four weeks ago,
a lot of 24 spot, but they have probably all moved next door, since i destroyed their long grass habitat to create the rest of my raised beds. but next door isn't changing anything soon so I'll have time to recreate a patch of their habitat by next summer.
a few 16 spots,
a couple of 14 spot,
a few 22 spots,
and one Hieroglyphic ladybird.
