Where are all the ladybirds?!

Plenty of ladybirds and their larvae on my plot and garden...they were all over the parsnips that are being left to go to seed yesterday.

No fair! I want some! I think I may start taking a tub to the park with me and collecting any I find to bring home! Ahhh, that brings back memories of being at my nan's when I was little and running round her garden trying to catch them to put in a jam jar only to then release them again!

We have loads of adults but I haven't seen any babies. Guess they must be around somewhere.

i was going to post if anyone else had noticed that there were loads this year! but I am weird though being in the middle of a concrete jungle. I probably built up a stock with my broad beans last year!!

**weekendwellies** · 04-06-2010, 12:19 PM

have seen a couple on my plot.

**Nicos** · 04-06-2010, 12:25 PM

Hmmm..come to think about it- I've not seen that many either!

I reckon they are all here

I counted 10 on my blackcurrant bush the other week and they were mating

I've seen 2 yellow ladybirds and 1 2-spot ladybird so far this year, and that's all been within the last few days.

Loads of them up lottie and a few in the garden along with larvae

**Brengirl** · 04-06-2010, 01:52 PM

I saw one in very early spring but none since. I can only hope that there isn't enough for them to eat chez moi.

So far i only seen about 5 ladybirds but im seeing countlees larvae on my trees.

I've only seen 2 so far this year & that was a while ago & I only saw one the whole of last summer! It's strange as there are people in other parts of the country who are swamped with them & we do usually have quite a few, maybe it's the last two very cold winters we've had here which has killed some off.

**WrexTheDragon** · 04-06-2010, 08:01 PM

No shortage of them here.

**binley100** · 04-06-2010, 08:07 PM

We had a load a few weeks ago , but they've now done a disappearing act. There was one pair mating on the goosgog bush while we were picking caterpillers off and half an hour later they were still there
