Harlequin Ladybird Survey

Nah, they slip in a Gentlemanbug/bird so the Ladies don't get lonely.

 

Boldly bumping this once more. The harlequin ladybirds have been a nightmare on my patch. Although we have hoovered up hundreds of them for disposal, there are still very many left to get rid of. They exude a yellow sickly smelling mess when squashed which stains everything it touches. I`m beginning to forget what a native ladybird looks like. Hope we don`t get another invasion this year. They can stay on the other side of the ditch.
