Since finding my first Scymnus interruptus (Red-flanked LB) in Shropshire in Sept 21, I've constantly looked in my work monad for it, and today, I finally found one!! Also pleased to see my 2nd S. auritus (Oak LB) of the year! #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

A pleasant but windy pm on Friday, with 15 species recorded, including Nephus quadrimaculatus (Ivy LB), Scymnus haemorrhoidalis (Red-rumped LB), Stethorus pusillus (Dot LB), and the smallest 14-spot I've ever seen, with 16-spot for comparison. #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

Sunday's rather wet monad bashing mooch produced 15 species, incl Rhyzobius chrysomeloides (Arboreal LB), Nephus quadrimaculatus (Ivy LB), Scymnus interruptus (Red-flanked LB) and Halyzia 16-guttata (Orange LB) #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

Yesterday's Heath Ladybird took my #LadybirdYearList total to 30 species. #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

A nice, albeit windy mooch this pm, with 13 species seen, including Scymnus suturalis (Conifer LB), lots of 2-spot LB, 24-spot LB (1st I’ve ever found on Campion!), and a lovely Clitostethus arcuatus (Horseshoe LB) #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird

Scymnus haemorrhoidalis (Red-rumped LB), S. interruptus (Red-flanked LB), and another new #LadybirdYearList species for me, Scymnus femoralis (Heath LB), which was a nice surprise! #VC40Ladybirds #MicroLadybird
