    The last couple of years I have hardly had any Ladybugs in my garden but this year I already have lots of them. Has anyone else notice this?

      Don’t know about ladybugs, but I certainly have hundreds and hundreds of ladybirds both in the garden and in the house. All varieties of ladybirds too.:)

        Mrs Shiney and I agree we have already seen well over a thousand ladybirds - but we have a large garden :)

        Only spotted 3 ladybirds so far this year - didn't even have that many last year either.
