They are all back outside now..... I went and got the tall buttercups I am *growing*... well, the leaves are stunning, and these are tall and stately looking... anyway, I grabbed a stem of flowers, and wafted it outside the window then shoved it in a vase of water on the windowsill, and bit by bit they have all followed the scent, lol..... also put a dish of water on the outside sill.... to attract them back out... it seems to have worked a treat... there's clever I am, boyo, lolol !!

There's bizarre, Marion!! Now Daddy long legs I do not like one little bit!!

Daff,

I have just gone and dusted with my feather mop all the Daddylonglegs ,and guess what.?... when I look at the duster they are not there !!!!!!!

Hmm how strange is that ..LOL

Going back to your tiny creature friends , they have only come to say hello to you.......but just like to stay...LOL. not sure about the beetle it had no chance !!

I had a lily beetle yesterday... squished it, lol.... it wasn't near the lilies, though they have had something nibble on them.

Saw my first Ladybird of the year on Monday, and no, it was not a Lily Beatle.LOL. Plenty of other coloured flies, eg,red,white,green, about in the greenhouse and on some plants, but they get a severe dose of ther Bug Gun. Needless to say, I live near the now defunct American Adventure, and am pretty good with the gun.

Daff,Yes ladybirds do nip!!!.I haven't seen any new thunderflies in my frames this year,but there are some very old dead ones lol

Hiya Jane, they nip as well, don't they!!

I have pictures with those tiny black thunderflies stuck behind the glass.... I can't for the life of me figure out how they got there, ther looks to be no gaps... but there they are, immortalised, lol!!

Daff I never understand how ladybirds find their way in even though there are no open windows.
We were inundated with flies a few evenings ago.They suddenly appeared just like that.I was literally sweeping them up in the morning after they had a good blast of fly spray.

i point stray in there direction, usually gets rid of them haha xxx

Must be your aura, Daffy:)))) BC XX

find their way in through my open windows, but can't find their way back out? They are just so dim!! I have 3 huge bumble bees buzzing around, a dragonfly (which is huge) and a damsel fly, which is much smaller... plus an assortment of hoverflies ... no butterflies at the moment, mind, they seem to have got the knack.

Love
