Never seen one up here, same with ants. Living at altitude and thus
relatively cold has it's advantages... B-)

The daffs might start to flower in the next day or so if it stays warm
which it doesn't look like doing. The snowdrops are more or less over
now.


Don't think lily beetles have reached these parts yet, daffodils are
going over, snowdrops are now a thing of lovely memories and primroses
are sheets of yellow glory!
