They are always all over my oregano this time each year. I think perhaps they overwinter under there.growingagardenindavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959600840504166899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-84927628536499551462011-03-26T20:14:32.972+00:002011-03-26T20:14:32.972+00:00Disgraceful - showing such porn :-)

If I do remove any then I have to be careful before I put anything in the bin - yesterday I had three on some Buddleja branches I chopped a while ago. Not to mention the few I saw elsewhere - I've never seen so many flying, every time I looked up one seemed to buzz by???!<br /><br />I just hope there are enough aphids to keep them well fed!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-38061646221507440652011-03-26T12:52:52.351+00:002011-03-26T12:52:52.351+00:00in my last abode, ladybugs came in twice a year: j...in my last abode, ladybugs came in twice a year: just as they emerged in full spring, & just before first hard frost. i would be killing (yes, i did) 20 or more every day for a week straight. in this place, the earliest sign of spring is to hear the street cats start yowling threats.petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-67328937808690034532011-03-26T11:56:45.886+00:002011-03-26T11:56:45.886+00:00Oh good, its not just me then - there really are l...Oh good, its not just me then - there really are loads more ladybirds around.
