Saw containers of live ladybugs at Lowe’s the other day. Once, years ago, we bought some and turned them loose in our garden. Within five minutes they had all departed for parts unknown, and we didn’t see a one in the garden after that.
“Saw containers of live ladybugs at Lowe’s the other day.”
Impressive!
I see a REAL Ladybug once in a Blue Moon in my garden; but I have a zillion of those orange ‘ladybugs’ that like to live in the walls of my house in the winter. We are usually surrounded by fields of Soybeans and they just love those beans!
A January or February “thaw” brings them out by the hundreds and the Shop Vac never leaves my hand! I HATE them!
I do have the beneficial wasps and a lot of Lacewings in my garden, though. They make me happy. :)
