Could be so easy but decided not to just look into corners but keep an open mind ...not as easy as l thought.
Two weeks ago l saw a Nature programme about Harliquin Ladybirds, about them gathering together to keep warmth ect.  Then a few days ago l saw a whole group of ladybirds gathered together in a corner in the entrence hall of our block of flats... Then diaster struck in the shape of an earwig...l hate them..he eat them all! but luckily on the way home tonight saw some more and better still....they were in a corner again. Cracked it!
