    Anyone else got a huge amount of ladybirds in the garden this year? I have hundreds, they've been out and about now for about a month but in bigger numbers now. I have been trying to make my garden wildlife friendly so hopefully it's working. Ladybirds I'm keen to encourage so they eat the greenfly.

      We have a few, but not as many as to a few years ago

        I haven't been in the garden of late due to health. I am constantly gathering up tiny baby Ladybugs that have hatched out in the seals of my double glazing.
