It's happening all over the country, and for the second time in as many weeks. The sunshine has brought them all out. Most will have them on south-facing walls.

Not just the British species, but thousands of harlequins too, a foreign species which is vastly outnumbering the british ones. Close views not only reveal a very variable pattern of spots on the back, but brown legs, rather than the british black.

All you can do is hoover them up from wherever they settle to hibernate, and they will, in big clusters. They are harmless to you though, just a nuisance.

Grandson and I were counting them yesterday, in my mum's garden. We lost count as more and more appeared.
