I think it is fair to say that they are everywhere now and often occur in huge numbers. The School Garden Club are shortly going to do an adult ladybird survey in the garden and see what the ratio is up there of our native ladybird to the Harlequin Ladybird. The willow classroom has been absolutely covered in ladybird larvae these last few days-probably of both types. They haven't found their way to the broad beans yet though where they would have a field day!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708862739460732261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499973798774139513.post-10786595521398234922011-06-17T10:49:28.356-07:002011-06-17T10:49:28.356-07:00Hi again - just Googled and it could be that you h...Hi again - just Googled and it could be that you have the Harlequin ladybird larvae which is bad news for our ladybirds.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499973798774139513.post-11961050256150164302011-06-17T10:45:51.131-07:002011-06-17T10:45:51.131-07:00That larva looks much more spiky than the ones I h...That larva looks much more spiky than the ones I have - just wonder if it could be a different type of ladybird?Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
