first ladybird

i decided to give my softfriut some bfb and hoe it in and there was a ladybird sitting on the stem never seen them this early at least they are ready for a feast on the aphids etc

We've seen them for ages now.  This morning one was sitting on the dashboard when we got in the car!

good stuff i think they are a lovely creature

Yes they are, but they and their offspring do eat other insects babies. That is not a nice thing to do is it?

Defo agree it makes you smile when you see a lady bird x

No it isn't nice, but that is why we all love them in the garden and the allotment.

Well in nature there will always be food chains and we cannot stop that. I also like to watch the North Amercan Grey squirrel not native to this country either but stll lovely!!
