Talkback: Harlequin ladybird
If you live near Wimbourne, Dorset, its worth going to Kingston Lacy (NT) to see carpets of snowdrops, by the paths and in the woods. It`s marvellous. Hellebores are out but not many of them. In early autumn 2007 I saw thousands of these ladybirds by Antonia

reason for donning those marigolds and getting out the feather duster!!Will get back to you..... As this species originated in Siberia amongst other places, I doubt it is the cold alone that is killing them. I have exactly the same problem of ladybirds by kaycurtis

But the ladybirds are coming to our rescue, Pippa, at least mine. They are there in an instant when I take anything outside from the conservatory that has aphids on like the odd aonium. I do hope some of the early buds are not going by happymarion
