Default OT Wasps and Ladybirds

Reluctantly I had to destroy a wasp nest last year
because it was too near my bathroom window and they kept
coming in. This year I haven't seen any wasps at all and
I've only seen a couple of Ladybirds. Has anyone else
noticed the lack of these aphid eaters?
I live in east London.


Seen a few wasps scraping wood off fence posts for their nests (also
drinking nearby). There have been a few ladybirds around, but nowhere
near enough to deal with the greenfly - and particularly blackfly -
around at present. Also a few hoverflies.
