    Out yesterday doing some gardening and tyding up after the Winter. I don’t think I have ever seen as many ladybirds in one day so early in the year. I must have counted about 19....I often go days without seeing them during the Summer but was gobsmacked to see so many!

    A recently awakened hibernating group. They will mate in Spring and die by summer.

    I actually wasn’t aware they died off by Summer, always learn something new in this forum. Thanks Srameem!

    Their lifespan is about a year.
