Lady Bird Invasion! The Wirral, 1976.



This is just a small portion of the ladybird outbreak you can see the proportion of ladybirds to the amount of tarmac on the street!
I was heavily pregnant and I had a fondness for green in my clothing back then. Because of this the ladybirds must have thought I was a plant and during this invasion I was covered in them! That is not something you'd forget about easily!
My story is going to be set in the summer heatwave of 1976 which I remember very well. The Lady Bird Invasion or the Lady Bird plague is going to be a part of the story.
