Even after the frost they're still around, in clusters too. Hasve you seen them?

So have I Merlin, every time I cut back one of the perennials I find more. I've never seen as many in previous years. I'm leaving some perennials for them to hibernate in, they like hiding in the brown curled up leaves

I saw one small one last year, and that was the first for many years. I don't know why we don't get them here any more. They used to be very common
