Well, I've just cut my mini meadow .. bit earlier than you suggested Jez, but it was starting to look a bit of a mess!! I couldn't believe the number of ladybirds (of varying spots) I found as I was cutting it (did it with some hand shears first before mowing, and rehomed all the ladybirds, so hopefully none were harmed in the process! Garden is a bit lacking in wildlife at the moment, so hopefull that is a start
