Talking of ladybirds, last winter there were quite a few 7 spots over-wintering in ecinacea seedheads and under fallen leaves that I had left in a sheltered pile. I saw the first active on 3rd February, two of them. On the whole there were less ladybirds during the spring and summer. 22 spots must have been the most numerous.
This winter I haven't seen any over wintering in the garden, I hope it won't be another bad year.
