it couldn,t have landed in a better place Eileen .I

I have to tell you that they have had an invasion of Ladybirds on our coast , it was so bad that it is effecting the tourist trade as people don,t want to get out of their cars , they have been walking on them and crushing them underfoot .. your little one has had a lucky escape !

Well I m so susprised Amy I was only saying today that I havent seen any in the garden this year, Poor things being walked on, makes me feel so sad.

It was Eileen .. apparently freak waves scoop them from the bottom of the ocean and deposit them on the shore ,

Sorry Eileen playing catch up .. like you not seen many and that s amazing Amy hope they are the British variety and not the Spanish one .

I've had a few on my balcony & I've seen a few around town in the last few weeks. I was wondering, while the little creature was crawling over my hand, just how the Harlequin ladybird can be distinguished from our native species?

I am remembering, while I write this, a documentary on Ladybirds perhaps last year. It may have been on the BBC but I can't recall now. I had no idea there were so many species of them!

how sweet i do love a pretty little ladybird.
