Product Description
A favorite "good bug" ladybugs have been popular beneficial insects for the past 20 years. When released at sundown (because they don't fly at night), ladybugs eat aphids, mealy bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and other destructive pests. And they keep on eating until the bad guys are gone, laying their own eggs in the process. When new pests arrive, fresh ladybugs will be waiting. You will love them because ladybugs really work, plus they will be doing something favorable for the environment. LADYBUGS (Hippodamia convergens) USE: Ladybugs prefer to eat aphids and will devour up to 50 a day, but they will also attack scale, mealy bugs, boil worm, leaf hopper, and corn ear worm. They dine only on insects and do not harm vegetation in any way. RELEASE: Ladybugs should always be released after sundown since they only fly in the daytime. During the night, they will search the area for food and stay as long as there is food for them to eat. The more they eat, the more eggs they lay and the more insect-eating larvae you will have. It is best if the area has been recently watered. Ladybugs tend to crawl up and toward light. So release them in small groups at the base of plants and shrubs that have aphids or other insects, and in the lower parts of trees. RECOMMENDATIONS: Ladybugs may be kept in a refrigerator after they are received (35 to 40 degrees F.) and released as needed. Ladybugs received March through May should not be stored more than 2 or 3 days since their body fat has been depleted. From June on, they may be stored 2 or 3 months. It is normal for there to be several dead Ladybugs in the container, especially those received from March through May. These bugs have reached the end of their life cycle. We have included many extra bugs to compensate for this.

 Roasted Ladybugs July 26, 2010
Ardra
Very sad. Ordered these bugs for my son's 6th birthday, and they were all dead on arrival. They could not have been in my mailbox for more than one hour, but it had to have been well over 100 degrees in there. It seems very irresponsible to mail these without some kind of climate controlled packaging, especially at nearly $20 a pop. Also, there is NO way there were 1500 ladybugs in there--not even close. Huge disappointment.
almost all dead when arrived July 23, 2010

I will be sending in my form for refund, the poor insects were almost all dead when they finally arrived.

The buggers came faster than expected in the mail. I plan to order more.
 At first disappointed July 14, 2010

At first I was disapointed, as I waited and waited for the ladybugs,
but once the company realized their mistake in not sending them, they
responded quickly.
Lady bugs July 13, 2010

The lady bugs arrived alive, and well in a plastic container. I placed the lady bugs in the garden in the late evening as the directions said. Unfortunately, they did not stay in the garden. I guess this is due to the fact there were not enough pest present for a good food source.
