Came across this big group of ladybird larvae/pupae yesterday which had congregated on a spider's web but then this morning, they seem to have been attacked by slugs! #ladybirds #slugs #exmoor #nature

20.12.2024 15:35 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0How should I save these Apple, Pear & Lilac trees blown over by storm Darragh? If I dig a hole under them & try to stand them up, am I likely to damage any intact roots in the ground. Also if I do that, should I do any pruning?
