Ladybird, ladybird...


Just a quick post to add these 7-spot ladybirds to my blog. All three were photographed in our garden. We seem to have had quite a few this year, so I hope it bodes well. These sightings remind me that I must update my home patch list...

Lovely photos and so good to see native ladybirds. Here we mainly get Harlequins in the garden! :(

Thank you, Conehead 54, Eileen and RR, for your kind comments. And, yes, I'm thrilled to see these 7-spots in our garden this year. Perhaps the insect hotels are playing their part...

Superb photos. I really think a lot more research needs to be done on Ladybirds. poemblog15.blogspot.com Toodles, Mark.

Thank you, Conehead 54, RR, Mark and Jan, for your kind comments. It is the second winter I have had three ladybird hotels in the garden, and it's lovely to see them producing 7-spots! And, judging by pic 2, hopefully there should be more on the way!
