Re: Where are they?
I've had a few ladybirds in the garden (sadly one met the bottom of one of the boy's shoes ) seen a couple of wasps but not many really (which isnt a bad thing as far as I'm concerned)

Have had plenty of snails in both gardens though, not sure where all them have come form but there are loads of them scattered about

Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet
June - July. Found in England, Wales and the Borders. A medium-sized moth, forewing black with five red spots. Found on grassland, sandhills and woodland rides. Very similar to the Five-spot Burnet.


I think it's one of the above. What ever it is it's very pretty.
