happened on a run to whitby the other day, warm weathers done it, that and the cold winters meant there's not too many ladybirds abouts....
just make sure you don't try to wipe them off with a glove, cos it just smears even worse....
think i'm gonna ride round my allotment at speed to clear them off my plants!

Scary thought, we have been hit by an influx of these where I work, I only walked up one road the other day and couldn't breathe, needed a dust mask due the millions of the feckers. ended up with a sleeve over my face like an extra in Backdraft !

Makes me wonder, how do you slow for a horde of these at speed when I was almost eating them at walking pace and still barely visable ?

Jeez
