We keep seeing ladybirds... but that's because there are nests of them in the house and when the heating is on for a long-time they all wake up and wander about. It's happened with butterflies too on previous years.

Have also seen a couple of bumble-bees outside this year and a drowned green caterpillar on the drive today.
