These eryngium are smothered in black fly. I had been squirting water jets from the hosepipe but then it dawned on me; no pests = no predators. When I took this photo last week there were 3 ladybirds, yesterday I counted 8.
I still think they’re out-numbered!
How’s your pest/predator ratio?
It started when I gave up smoking and went from there!

I’ve been gritting my teeth as several roses were covered in greenfly and it’s paid off- I’ve spotted quite a few ladybird larvae in the last week so they’re coming!
Oh dear. So far there haven’t been many black fly and I’ve seen plenty of ladybirds. xx
