    Everywhere I've been today I've seen dozens and dozens of ladybirds of several varieties, lots on the wing and lots basking in sun traps. I know its been an unseasonably warm day; up to 22 degrees here but I've never seen so many, fantastic to see them ;)

      Just seeing lots of Woodlice here, mind you a few minutes with a bit of nail polish and you wouldn't know the difference :)

              IS this an imported impostor ladybird or is it OK?
