Not many recorded in my Cambridgeshire garden so far this year.
Could have something to do with all the rain.
Whitefly I DO have. Nothing seems to kill them, they just keep
returning in greater numbers.

I have seen just five in S Devon during the last couple of months, two
of which were Harlequins which is not good news.

Not many ladybirds, but not many aphids either. Have not had to go round cleaning up the roses at all.

Same here. I usually find the aphids go into retreat once the hoverflies become numerous, and they seem especially numerous this year. They are really big aphid-eaters.
