Where's all the ladybirds?

[Dillibags]

I just realised at the weekend that I haven't seen any ladybirds yet this year. My garden is planted up with wildlife in mind and I've plenty of other insects buzzing happily about.

Is it just my garden, has everybody else got some?

Found one Harlequin in my garden so far, and only one clump of eggs.

Might have expected 2-Spot, but I haven't seen any.

I'm in London. They're all down here! We have literally thousands of them, especially Harmonia (Harlequin ladybird), but still quite a few of our native Adalia family. They were late starting, around mid-May before they were present in effective numbers.

You've obviously missed out on the lengthy thread:
