    This year ladybirds is ladybirds is ladybirds image

    We're not going to eradicate them now and we need ladybirds of whichever variety.

    But I'd be interested to know whether any Harlequins were imported and sold on as ladybird larvae in the early days of using them for organic pest control.  Do you think anyone would tell us, even if they knew?

    What was she wearing?  Would she like to come and stand in my garden for a morning?

     Hi Everyone, These are my ladybird lava on a rock and the wildflowers that come up every year you can see lava on leaf, I haven't a clue what wildflowers they are so if anyone knows would love to know what they called and ladybirds love them.

    LOL dove. We were sat underneath a tree at the time. Think it had a lot of aphids on it.

  • I'm no expert, so I don't know if it's a Red dead-nettle or perhaps Black horehound. Hopefully a proper expert will be able to identify itimage
