Where to find the 30 ladybirds hidden in this week's issue of Country Life magazine
Every week in Country Life, we put a ladybird on the front cover. For the 19 May 2021 issue — our sustainability special — we've hidden 30 of them throughout the magazine.
If you're stuck, below is the list of where they all are — along with pictures of some of the trickier ones.
You'll also find the initials to tell you which one of one of our brilliant art team — Sarah Readman (SR), Heather Clark (HC) or Ben Harris (BH) — hid that particular ladybird, so you'll know exactly who to blame...
