Re: Harlequin Ladybirds

Oddly,this year I've not seen half so many as the year before. No big congregations and only singletons in my area. Perhaps there hasn't been that many other insects this year to eat?
I suppose the less we see them the better though. Just a question Paul, can they be parastitised and if so, would a parasitoid have caught up with them yet?
