Talkback: Bug hunt and rosemary leaf beetle
Although the others you describe are probably the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, your metallic stripy 'ladybird' is almost certainly a rosemary leaf beetle, Chrysolina americana. Look out for the pale grey grubs, up to 10 mm long, sitting by caitlin

. Chrysolina species. There is a lovely one on garden and water mint, Chrysolina herbacea (formerly called C. menthastri) but if it is on rosemary, sage or lavender it is C. americana, the rosemary leaf beetle.

Talkback: Southern oak bush-cricket

through the lens. The ladybirds would have been quite OK for several hours, but a bumblebee would not have been very happy at all. I have recently found lots of small black beetles on my rosemary hedge. Is there a pesticide I can use to get rid of them by budding entomologist

white one at the entrance to my shed so I shall try to remove when the queen is absent. Reply to Jay. You have the rosemary leaf beetle (which also feeds on lavender). It's spreading quickly across England, but is often not included in garden bug by Excited finder
