Ladybirds
I was in the UK at the time and remembered that - there weren't so many in Bradford (W. Yorks.), mind you. Didn't people get bitten by ladybirds that summer?jforgham said:Hot summer 1976, Dunwich to Walberswick walk mid afternoon. On the horizon, huge cloud of smoke. Much debate, from steamer to burning oil /gas rig etc. Cloud increased in size and before we realised it we were in the middle of it. It hadn't been miles out to sea, just 50 yards off shore. Contents of cloud, ladybirds. Literally millions.Within 5 minutes fenceposts, ground, ourselves, reeds and a gatepost were completely covered. Anyone else remember the ladybird explosion in this year?
