I saw a 14-spot ladybird today which got brought into the kitchen with some elderberries I had picked. It reminded me that I had seen very few different species of ladybird this year but on the other hand the quantity of 7-spot ladybird has been huge. There were hundreds on the low bush just outside our back door (pictured above). There have also been a reasonable number of 2-spot ladybirds and a few of the damn harlequin ladybirds early on in the season but I am not sure I have seen anything else.
