Hello
I have noticed a distinct lack of them in my garden, just a few sightings. Has anyone noticed a lack of them too? and it would be interesting if anyone does see any their sighting on here.
Cheers
Helen

Much happier situation in my garden at the moment. Two of them managed to get together on my cardoon, and now we have lots of babies - I've been watching them hatch. I'm not sure of the sp. yet.  |

I've not really thought about it Kield' until you posted it, but you are right, I've hardly seen any. A lack of butterflies and ladybirds...gadzooks.

I must admit I havent seen that many either.Usually see quite a few round here.Have noticed there seems to be more "cuckoo spit" this year.I believe that is what protects the young froghopper? Oh dear dont know if thats correct,someone help me out here!! lol

I completely agree with you re cuckoo spit, there is such a lot of it this year.

It would be interesting to know how owning a "ladybird box" correlates with the number of ladybirds in that garden. Do these structures help? I know they can be quite expensive. Are they a gimmick? |

Yep, I've only seen one Two-Spot and that's it! would this have anything to do with the wet summer last year and the fact that this summer isn't that good so far either? |
