Default Where are all the ladybirds?

Then it occurred to me - I've seen no ladybirds, no hoverflies, and very
few lacewings.

Is everyone else seeing this?

(I've had to use soapy water on the greenfly. I don't normally have to

I usually get hundreds of ladybird larvae on my Privets around late
April but I haven't seen one this year.
