wuvvum Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 That's Norfolk for ladybirds. And it's appropriate that we have our own word for them at the moment, 'cos we're being fugging plagued by the little bastards. Below are a few photos I took earlier today in Walcott on the Norfolk coast - there must be literally millions of the things in those piles, and there are dozens more piles just like these. And all the gutters all along the sea front (about half a mile) are full of them too. Completely off topic I know, but thought I'd post them anyway as I've never seen bugger all like it.

HillmanImp Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I have never seen anything like that before. How odd. They are maybe those Asian ladybirds that are wiping out our native species? If they are so numerous i am not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Is it wrong that I got 'ladybirds' and 'ladyboys' confused there, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I scrolled down but then I realised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I never really paid attention in Sunday School, was a plague of ladybirds after the plague of frogs or the plague of locusts?A year ago it seemed there were those irritating daddy longlegs everywhere, are they blind the way they just fly into you and no matter how much you swat them they don't get the message. I was working in my garage one evening when at least a dozen came in over 5 minutes, I had a go at attacking them with a few of the aerosols around but the best result was with spray mount adhesive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Saw something similar in the hot summer of 86, when I was canal boating on the Gloucester-Sharpness Canal.We were literally swamped with them -like a plague.Forced to moor & take refuge in a pub nearby- where we drank ourselves senseless.Gone the following morning -weird.

It was that bad it was difficult to go outdoors on one day apparently. The they were all dead the next day in piles like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The they were all dead the next day in piles like that Gareth and his spray adhesive no doubt - I prefer WD40 and a fag lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
