Lots of Ladybirds


Lots of Ladybirds

Noticed ladybird larvae on the Purple Loosestrife and they are everywhere, not seen this many since 1976.

Oh yes remember the 1976 ladybird invasion, they're doing a good job though I had a plant covered in blackfly and was going to spray with soap water, but noticed a few ladybird had moved in and a couple of days later they've eaten them all :-)

Oh what a shame Scottish, loads here.
Kathy, of course in 1976 we were just chickens lol. Doing a good job here too with the blackfly .... Ants and ladybirds working in unison :). So many all over.
