These are convergent lady bugs, native to Canada, and are a voracious predator of many garden pests. Their main prey are aphids, but they are generalists, and feed on a variety of other pests including thrips, mites, whitefly, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and many other soft-bodied bugs. Package contains 250 Live Hippodamia convergens Ladybugs!
Use & Care
After receiving ladybugs, they can either be released right away or be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks (see the expiry date stamped onto the label of the bag). The best time to release ladybugs is at dusk, when the bugs are least active, and the environment is not as hot and dry as mid-day. It is also a good idea to mist the plants with water in the area where you’ll be releasing the ladybugs.
