:( no ladybugs this year
I've not seen one 
don't use any chemicals in the garden (more through laziness than intent) so I'm not killing them, they just aren't around, I've even been to a site I know the larvae usually are abundant in the hope of borrowing a couple of mating adults for my garden and there's none.
The aphids are going wild. Is this a bad year for ladybirds?

I've not seen any either,maybe it's a bit early and they are 5weeks behind because of the weather like the plants are!0

saw them today in abundance all looked smaller than usual but still mating:cool: Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
Sometimes age just shows up all by itself
In the end, it's not the years in your life
that count....it's the life in your years

I've not seen any either. And hardly see butterflies anymore either 0

I've had quite a few butteflies in the garden here. Saw ladybirds when it was still very cold but now you mention it I haven't seen any now it is warm.0

None seen here either, wish they would come because they would not starve in my garden!0

Oh I have seen oodles of them so far this year! In fact I commented on this to my OH yesterday that I had never seen so many about before.Taking responsibility one penny at a time!0

We've seen loads in the garden this year too, thankfully!0

Its the cold spring, I havn't seen any aphids yet either and they're one of their favourite foods. Numbers need to build up.0

None here either this year, which is very strange as we usually have tons... and my garden is absolutely covered in green flies at the moment so I hope the ladybirds show up soon!!
To those of you who've seen lots this year... where abouts are you?0
