Has anyone ordered and used Ladybugs in their garden? I ordered me some to give it a try. You get 1500 live Ladybugs for about $20 bucks that is with shipping on amazon. Here is a video on youtube about Ladybugs.

Also here is a video showing you what the Ladybug larvae look like. They look nothing like the Ladybug at all...

On top of Brush Mountain, Pa.

We have many many ladybugs here that come on their own. I have seen them cover the side of my little greenhouse some years. They are always welcome. Marv

if what you see are orange bug, they are not true lady bugs, they are an inplant (they were brought here to kill off the aphids) as do the lady bugs. Now we are over ran with them and they stink. I have always seen, when you see a lot of them, there are a lot of aphids

Navarre,OH

Only $20 for 1500 ladybugs is a decent deal.
I bought Ambush Bugs a few years ago and they keep coming back. Only bad thing is they tend to get moody when your in the garden and they try and eat you LOL

You buy that many lady's they may come back every year if they like their new home and you'll be set years to come.
