Must have been a bumper crop of ladybirds this year. We've just had the 4th call today about balconies/porches being inundated with them. Gotta get some and get them in the greenhouse quickly.

Make sure they are not the Harlequin LadyBird.

We've had at least a dozen calls this morning too. I've had the odd call over the years for a few (20 odd) ladybirds on window frames etc but nothing like this. Any ladybird specialists out there.

We have had two today

http://www.harlequin-survey.org/default.htm. This site is quite useful.

Suggested that they hoover up the ladybirds and put the bags in the greenhouse (unless Harlequins of course). I am assuming that Ladybirds will survive a trip into a hoover bag?
