The ladybug's purchased from this vendor did not stay in my yard after they devoured the aphids. I don't know how to make a home for them as the other respondent states he did, however, you should find some information about that on the internet.

Mine did. I made a little home for them and they went through a couple life cycles.

Yes! There is a dish on the bottom for that, and i would look up how to hatch both types of eggs, im pretty sure they need different humidity and tempatures, so more then likely no. I would read A LOT on what the eggs will need and the hatchlings as well before starting anything, eggs are pretty complicated, and it can be heart breaking when they dont hatch.

It won't affect any insects that are already adults. It will keep any new insects from growing into adults though.

I like that, even though they are bugs, kids love to play with them. I also like that they are a fun way to get rid of aphids. I also like that I can store them in my refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and release them a little at a time. It extends the fun and gives me several treatments for the aphids. What I don't like about ladybugs is that they don't stick around for long. I also don't like that the ants kill and eat ladybugs and their eggs. Defeats the real purpose of lady bugs, though the fun of playing with them outweighs the loss for us.

I had 2 egg cases and I got about 40-50 from each.... but some come out earlier than others... it wont hurt to keep and eye on your sacks and release them as they come out... maybe once a day or so.... otherwise they will eat each other....

The weather is important when releasing ladybugs. If it is too cold, they will simply fall asleep and be eaten. The best time to release them is a week after the weather has started to warm up. Check the weather to avoid any cold snaps.

The eggs came in a case or pod that is very strong. Only one of mine actually hatched. I do home daycare in Illinois and ours hatched in the end of July, about a month after I ordered them.

I am not sure...I know that ladybugs are hard to get when it is too hot. When you read the information about the ladybugs it does say it is good when there is food for the ladybugs. I will tell you that the experience of releasing the ladybugs with children is an awesome experience.

I am in Oklahoma and got some for my garden in June. They disappeared pretty quickly and I have seen none recently. I think maybe the birds eat them . . . I still have aphids and no lady bugs.

I can't remember the dimensions, but I think most should...the dragonfly may be a little long though and not sure if the ladybug would be a bit wide. Would definitely fit in the larger sized plastic eggs

The directions for use are very simple. Hang the egg cases under a leaf or other overhanging structure in your garden. However caveat emptor - the egg cases I purchased never hatched. Disappointing since the ladybird beetles and nematodes I also bought worked great. Never saw an aphid or grub during the entire growing season.

Unless you are watching them 24/7 it is entirely likely you missed them hatching. Look around for tiny praying mantis on the leaves of your plants.

I'm not sure how well ladybugs would work against spidermites, but I had ladybugs all summer. I think green lacewings would work well against spidermites. Those things eat anything that moves, including other ladybugs and each other. Hope that helps

I don't know if it kills the eggs, but it kills most of the nymphs and adults. Most, but not all!

Sorry, I do not know. All I know was that they were expensive and they stayed for less than 24 hours. For us it was a waste of time and money. We even purchased ladybug homes.

We use it for slugs of course. I don't remember using it but I must have last year. I also love lady bugs but don't often see them. They don't act like slugs so I doubt it would get to them. Lady bugs are such a good infestation. . . . Judy in Sitka, Alaska

The Asian variety are invasive in local ecosystems and can kill other good bugs like local ladybugs to the point of extinction. It's important to know what variety ladybugs are before releasing into your area. Responsible sellers should list the species. This one is labeled as "Hippodamia convergens," or the convergent lady beetle, a common North American species.
