    Ladybird ????

    While pottering about this morning I came across a Ladybird I think but instead of it being Red with black spots it was black with red spots ... not knowing if it were friend or foe I have put it in a glass jar ... Its now awaiting the verdict of all you lot out there to let me know if I release or read it its last rights .... please help as I dont like killing stuff not even the ones that eat my veg ...

    Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

        Lol well thank you Nicos ... I have released the little blighter and I must admit I have not seen another since ... If I start to get over run by them or find they are causing trouble I will let you lot know ... but for now be assured they are free to do whatever black and red Ladybirds do.
