    Hello I'm wondering if you would be interested in changing your ladybird ID card providings to another ladybird ID card providings, a providings which provides much cheapness in the ladybird ID providings.

Only that will prevent illegal ladybirds from taking advantage of our goodwill, free greenfly and glourious climate.
    I do not believe that you used EDS and high quality in the same sentence...

    Maybe we should set up a border force of small birds to catch this lot when they try to enter the UK. We could also tape them to the legs of migratory birds to send 'em back.

    Shropshire County Council is asking residents to keep their eyes peeled for Harlequin ladybirds, which are black, red or yellow with varied spots.


    Nice and easy to tell them apart from other ladybirds then!! Good accurate description that!

    Maybe you are meant to "snap" the insects by hitting them with a heavy object, such as a camera?

    The council wants people carrying cameras to snap the Asian insects.
    Wouldn't it be quicker stamp on them? And why do you need a camera?
