Last week I opened the sun shade for the first time after the winter and discovered where several of these bug eating creatures had survived the winter...
Once exposed the creatures soon vanished...
Out to do their good work amongst our plants - we hope!!

They look awfully sweet there -- a nice colour accent! :-)
I think it is a Loveliness of ladybirds!!! Wonder where I heard that from? Diane
I think a "Spotting of Ladybirds" cuts the moutard... these are all Harlequin Ladybirds... the Harlequin is an alien species which was introduced to kill aphids in commercial greenhouses... despite what is said about it being American, it is in fact Asian. Unfortunately, it does eat the larvae of other ladybird species, as well as its own!! It is becoming more and more common, to the detriment of our native varieties.
