We went to Harpur Hill near Buxton this week end - we had to throw a further half a dozen out of the m/home. They surviced all week indoors in Poynton and have now been released back in Derbyshire at least
How do they survive in a locked m/home with no food?

Not only do Ladybirds eat aphids but they also eat mildew and fungi.
Time for the annual MH clean up?

Went to pick up van from outdoor storage for an overnight stay at St Ouens.
Heidi nearly freaked as there were several hundred ladybirds in the upper (outdoor) part of both the front door seals.
She wailed and lamented, I suggested a nice crunchy salad with bite.
Mr Broom soon sorted them and ruined their entire winter.
Martin and Heidi
So nearly six months on and there's still a few survivors in our motorhome
Including this fella :
He might just go to Portugal with us as a treat

It's the mild weather of late, they hibernate in the cold and "normally" come out when the weather warms up - when of course, their meals are ready...
they are voracious carnivores and will consume aphids like they are going out of fashion.......
but are the aphids around yet????
IMO NO, so how long they will survive is questionable - perhaps that is why they are so obvious at present..
If you have seen Al Gores "An Inconvenient Truth" he talks about the same thing that the insects hatch too early for the birds to eat them and then when the young birds are ready for them the insect numbers have reduced......
Spent all afternoon in the garden today and there were dozens of ladybirds around. Didn't notice how many spots they had though so don't know if they were native ones or not. Will count spots tomorrow.
