Insects on Fences

 At this time of year, it's common to see ladybirds gathering together on fences (or gravestones) to hibernate. Yesterday, I was surprised to find a group of hoverfly larvae gathered on a fence post where I would have expected to see ladybirds. (I'm not entirely sure that the green insect in the photo below is a hoverfly larva, but the rest of them certainly are) 

I also wrote about this in yesterday's post on my Crafty Green Substack (with several photos). You can read that article here

I was recently reading about ladybirds, swarming and clustering together in homes.
I haven't had any yet ... but quite a few spiders!

All the best Jan
