Re: Harlequin Ladybirds

It's getting on to hallowe'en so we should expect more of them!
I hadn't seen any ladybird at all since the end of July until this weekend when I came a across a few pines (Exochomus quadripustulatus) and oranges (Halyzia sedecimguttata and today quite a few harlequins (Harmonia axyridis) at various places in Sheffield. Not only are their 'adults' but still plenty of larvae and many pupae so, unless there's a frost, we can expect more ladybirds over the next month ......
