Lanzarote Relocation

Don’t know if anyone else has been having this… but recently, I’ve been fishing a number of ladybirds out of the pool, and letting them dry out to survive on the garden wall.

Ladybirds in Lanzarote

There just seems to be quite a few about at the moment, and they seem to be making a beeline (should that be ladybirdline?) for the pool – are they on a death wish? As I fish them out, they don’t seem to want to let go of my finger – almost as if they know how we can help them.

I’ve always loved ladybirds, and yes, even during the swarm in England of 1976. These hardy little insects are so pretty, and of course they eat the tiny bugs that plague Alan’s vegetable patch. I say they can stay! Oh, and out of reach of the dog, too!
