Re: Harlequin Ladybirds

I did a quick sweep here on the 19th, looking for something to show a group of Brownies, and found 16, 22 and 24 spot ladybirds. There were also a couple of orange ladybirds on sycamore.

I don't know where the harlequins have been hiding. I've seen very few all summer but there have been more 7-spots around. I saw several on thistles a few weeks ago. Earlier in the year there were reasonable numbers of pine ladybirds and I've also picked up the odd cream spot. 2-spots seem scarce though.
