This morning started sunny and the temperature rose very quickly in the garden. Insects appeared everywhere the most numerous being 7-Spot Ladybirds with 90 actually counted, one pair mating, and with many places where I couldn't get to, the number was probably much higher. With them were two Pine Ladybirds two species of hoverfly, Honey Bees, a Common Carder, Drone Fly, Bluebottles, a Rosemary Beetle and numerous small unidentified flies.
