Lady birds

WOW you not short of them are you :o))

This shrub had groups of them all over it Carole they must have been hibernating and the sun has brought them out .. :o)

Blimey could do with a few up this end :o))

so thts where they all are! thts a lovely pic :)

Oooooooh.. what a lot you've got :o)

Me too , point them in my Direction;-)

lovely amy, not had that many, lovely to see they have survived to :o))

Great photo, Amy. I had a batch like this on my camellia but they have now all dispersed. I took that as a sign of spring :)

wow great Amy

ooooohhhhhh a ladybird convention....

I have a lot of them going on in my garden at the moment too, I am wondering if we are going to get a swarm of them this summer, like the one I saw in the news last year, people good not go out of their houses for a few days as they were all over the the place, buildings were covered by them. I am getting a bit weary of them.

OOOOOooooooo Amy how brill 2c so many :)

What a sight, I dont know what you name a group of ladybirds but you have an amazing cluster.

I suppose ladybird had to go somewhere now Woolies is gone.LOL .:o))))))

oh nooooo mushy.... lol

Well I think I must have had everybodys share because they were on every plant that I looked at today ... you are not so far away Michaella so it would seem that they are in this area , I do remember the swarms we had last year it wasn't very nice at all , I remember one time when they were sweeping them up down at Cromer on the coast ., they were driving the holiday people crazy .........

Mushy ..LOL... haven't you got any in your part of Norfolk ?

~ we never have any~ you must have our share!

we sometimes get the swarms in blackpool coming across the sea onto the sea front, it happened one year when joe was about 2 and poor lad screamed as he got covered in them, and they were big to, i grabbed him and ran to the car trying to get them all off him,luckerly its not affected him, he still likes them lol

If we have swarms of ladybirds that should mean no aphids, greenfly, etc etc :)

When we had them on the coast it affected the tourist trade , people were covered in them like your Joe San .. they were hiding in their cars to try to escape them ..

I think thats true Gee we don't have many aphids and greenfly when theirs alot of Ladybirds .. :o)

would rather ladybirds than greenfly any day :o)

No i havent seen any so far but then haven't been looking..

Wow....what a lot you got! They love it there Amy...all ready for the greenfly...:o)

How amazing, have never seen so many in one place, lucky you, saw one today lol

I do hope they keep the greenfly away San. Janey !
Where have you been Mushy ?
This is only a few Dd , they are everywhere .. ........ ;o)

Working unfortunately..:o((((

Ah Poor Mushy .. . it's not fair is it .. everybody should be allowed to have nice days off ..LOL....

I agree ..But guess what ? the weekends coming and its going to rain ...Typical!!!

Oh No , thats not fair either .. weekends should be rainless ... . they need a better organiser ' up there ' LOL. ...

Great to see so many Amy...and our native species too ! Seems they are rallying against their enemy...

Amy
Been out clearing old dead stuff from plants yesterday and guess what ?.Your right hundreds of ladybirds ...:o))))

It is isn't it Ray , they need to fight back ..... I'm glad you found some Mushy I was getting ready to send you some ...by pigeon OR Pheasant carrier ... LOL...

Amy
I'm hoping the pheasant carrier as it may be quicker.
..By the way i found my pie dish yesterday >..:o)))

You Rotter .. .. .. I hope your wife throws another towel at your plants ...LOL...

...... LOL ....:o)))))

Is this the start of the ugly bug ball? At least you shouldn't have a greenfly problem with all these predators about.

Ahhhh so this is where all the ladybirds have gone.....
